Biting into a beignet is like biting into a buttery, fluffy pillow. When fried in hot oil, the slightly savory dough yields bite-size nuggets with perfectly crisp exteriors and tender interiors that beg for a dusting of powdered sugar and a cup of hot coffee. To put it simply, beignets are square shaped pieces of dough that are deep fried and generously sprinkled with confectioners sugar. They're best served hot and are best paired with a cup of coffee, or café au lait!

Tips and Tricks: Beignets were also brought to Louisiana by the Acadians. These were fried fritters, sometimes filled with fruit. Hey George, the salt is in the self-rising flour..
