Oh, how we love beignets. They're a must when visiting New Orleans, but we had never made them ourselves. This is another example of a culture's fried dough. In this case, they're served hot and smothered in a ton of powdered sugar. These beignets are fried to golden perfection and are slightly crisp around the edges. Break it open and the inside is fluffy and soft. Lick your fingers good, they're the perfect treat on a lazy morning for breakfast or brunch.
