Beignet is a French style “donut” that characteristically has the taste of buttermilk and ground wheat and rye flours. Cafe du Monde has been making these along with their equally famous coffee for a very long time.
Of course you can enjoy these too far from the French quarter of New Orleans at home… With a little practice and the right ingredients…. Or you can even buy their mix which shortcuts it all for you.
Rolling out the dough, cutting the squares, frying and heavily – very heavily – dusting the donut with powdered sugar is the short steps in this process!
The only thing left is to pour yourself a steaming cup of coffee… And enjoy!
Bon appetite !
