Beignets

Beignets are a type of deep-fried pastry originating from French cuisine, popular in New Orleans. Made from a rich dough typically containing flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and yeast, they are molded into squares or rectangles. The dough is fried until golden brown, resulting in a light, airy interior with a slightly crispy exterior. Beignets are traditionally dusted with powdered sugar and served warm. They can be enjoyed as a dessert or breakfast treat, offering a crispy, soft texture combined with sweet, melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
