Beignets Recipe

My soft, pillowy, vanilla-scented Beignets are French donuts fried until golden brown then dusted with powdered sugar. These are the best New Orleans style beignets, and they're impossible to resist! Beignets are soft, sweet, and delicious square donuts that are insanely delicious and highly addicting, I mean is there anything better than freshly fried, warm donuts served with a cup of hot coffee? Making homemade beignets might seem daunting but they’re actually super easy to make.

Another thing you can do with your beignets after they’re done is drizzle them with honey like in the Princess and the Frog movie

Just go ahead and make them. Its been a few weeks since I've found this and I'm about to make my 3rd batch. I make the batter and keep it in the refrigerator. When I'm ready to make a portion, I simply remove the right amount from the batter roughly 15 minutes before the time I'm going to cook them. Its perfect.

[@hoodieninja70]

I tried this recipe and I'll just provide some notes about my experience. I felt the amount of yeast in this recipe should have been half. The dough tasted/smelled really yeasty and, when I looked at other recipes, they had half the amount. I ended up having to add a lot more flour than what was was listed. I used a scale to weigh out the flour, so I know it was accurate. When I fried the beignets, they were more like deep fried bread and very chewy. All in all, this recipe didn't work for me. However, I still love your channel and your videos are the absolute best! I could watch you for hours. The recipe that did work for me was from Todd Wilbur, who does Top Secret Restaurant Recipes. I followed his recipe exactly and ended up with perfect beignets.

Your recipe for the dough makes it sound like the beignets don't need any sugar at all! They sound yummy. Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans serves them with sugar piled high with at least an inch and a half of sugar on top of the top layer. It is enough so if you inhale while taking a bite of one of the ones piled with sugar, you could asphyxiate yourself. Without the sugar, they aren't ( or weren't the last time I had them - decades ago) that sweet.
