Ingredients

How to make it

  • Drop 1/2 cup of butter and a good pinch of salt into a skillet containing 1 cup of hot water.
  • Bring to a boil and add 1 cup of sifted flour.
  • Stir and cook thoroughly until it comes together and pulls away from the skillet.
  • Turn off heat and add 4 eggs.
  • You must beat after each egg you put in.
  • Now the dough is ready to drop into deep fat, which should have been raised to 375 degrees.
  • As the beignets brown, they will turn over by themselves.
  • Have some heavy brown paper laid out and dip them out and onto the paper as they are ready.
  • Drain well and immediately sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • They must be served right away, usually with a castor of sugar on the table so that more can be added as your guests turn them over.

    I love beignets. Never made my own because it's so easy to go to Cafe Du Monde. Maybe one day, I'll make my own. :-)
