Granny's Beignets

2 x Eggs 
4 tsp Creole seasoning
1/4 cup Small-diced red peppers 
1/4 cup Small-diced red onion 
1/4 cup Chopped green onions 
1 tbl Minced garlic 
1 tsp Salt 
2/3 cup Flour 
1/2 cup Masa 
1 tsp Baking powder 
1/2 cup Milk 
    Oil for frying 

In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients together, mix until thoroughly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. 
To fry the beignets: Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the batter directly into the fryer, about six beignets can be fried at the same time. This amount will depend on the size of the fryer. Stir the beignets constantly to prevent them from sticking together and to the basket. If your fryer has two baskets, then one can be placed on top of the other. This will aid in the overall golden color of the beignets. Fry the beignets until golden-brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from fryer and place on a paper-lined plate. Season with  Creole seasoning.
