About


We Southerners love beignets!  If you have ever been to Cafe du Monde in New Orleans and had their famous hickory coffee and beignets you know what I am talking about.   A beignet is a pastry made from dough and deep fried then rolled in confectioners sugar.  This is an easy way to make these little treats and you won’t be able to stop eating them!
