Beignets Recipe

My soft, pillowy, vanilla-scented Beignets are French donuts fried until golden brown then dusted with powdered sugar. These are the best New Orleans style beignets, and they're impossible to resist! Beignets are soft, sweet, and delicious square donuts that are insanely delicious and highly addicting, I mean is there anything better than freshly fried, warm donuts served with a cup of hot coffee? Making homemade beignets might seem daunting but they’re actually super easy to make.

I'm from New Orleans so I grew up making these at home, and we'd drop them right from the fryer into a paper bag filled with powdered sugar and give them a good shake to totally coat them, lol. A nice dusting is okay but we were aiming for complete coverage! Anyway, I've only made them for my husband once, so you've inspired me to give 'em another go. :)

Another thing you can do with your beignets after they’re done is drizzle them with honey like in the Princess and the Frog movie

Oh. My. God! These were soooo good. They were super easy to make and they ended up like fluffy pillows dusted with sugar and all of the 20 beignets I made were devoured in one hour. I am definitely going to make this again. Srsly John's recipes turn out good literally every time. Thanks so much :)

His kids must have so much fun with him baking or cooking! I just love Johns humor and skills!

Made these this morning...please note if you refrigerated the dough bring the dough to room temp before frying otherwise these are dense with raw dough in the middle. I realized my mistake while frying the second batch and tasting the first. I should know better! This are fantastic when done right. The grandkids loved them rolled in cinnamon sugar.

I just love his voice and personality. It's weirdly calming

I love all of the extra tips you provide to make our baking and cooking process easier. You don’t get that from most people who just tell you the ingredients and temperature needed to cook. Thank you. 🥳🌼

I tried this recipe and I'll just provide some notes about my experience. I felt the amount of yeast in this recipe should have been half. The dough tasted/smelled really yeasty and, when I looked at other recipes, they had half the amount. I ended up having to add a lot more flour than what was was listed. I used a scale to weigh out the flour, so I know it was accurate. When I fried the beignets, they were more like deep fried bread and very chewy. All in all, this recipe didn't work for me. However, I still love your channel and your videos are the absolute best! I could watch you for hours. The recipe that did work for me was from Todd Wilbur, who does Top Secret Restaurant Recipes. I followed his recipe exactly and ended up with perfect beignets.
