Binging with Babish: Beignets from Chef (and Princess and the Frog)

This isn't the first time we've taken a look at the foods featured in Jon Favreau's food-film masterclass, Chef. In fact, it isn't the second or third time. And it won't be the last. Follow along this week as we recreate these crunchy, squeezy, soft Crescent City donuts that finally brought a father and son together.

Hey Babish, being a deaf person, I require your closed captions, and I appreciate you taking the time to throw in the puns and references you make. Especially when you use the word Thicc to describe dough.

DO THAT DANK PUMPKIN GUMBO FROM PRINCESS AND THE FROG

[TheShadyBoi]

I remember being drunk in New Orleans when i had my first beignet and it was so good i cried

[assassintwinat]

You can tell these weren't meant to be from Princess and the Frog because they're beignets, not *_Man-Catchin' beignets_*

[_mchy]

Dude Disney made beignets look hella good in The Princess and the Frog. I’ve never had any before.

[chelseaoocandy]

Having this guy as your neighbor is like winning the jackpot.

Babish: cut your scraps into rectangles as well

Me trying to make one massive beignet: no, I don’t think I will

[sonnypevensie]

Me: knows Beignets are pronounced [Benyays]
my last braincell: Beeg nets

3:33 turn captions on and notice the subtle yet game changing detail the caption author took the time to put in

Made these for breakfast this morning, had to use all purpose flour instead of bread but they still turned out great. Thanks for the quarantine recipes lol

"coat it with a nice thicc layer of flour"
To whoever created the subtitles: I love you

[justinbinns]

You really seem to love that tiny whisk. May I suggest it as a next tattoo?

[naritaprim]

How do you wear an all black apron and not get any white flour or dough on it?!

[angellmpls]

The box mix from Cafe du Monde actually works fine, you just need to roll it out about twice as thick and they puff up great.

I guess I'll just keep asking..

Cook anything from Studio Ghibli, and/or all the Neverfoods from 'Hook'.

Being born in New Orleans, I never realised that they were something that solely a New Orleans thing.

“Alexandrea Ocasio Cortez liberal” I literally fell off my bed in laughter.
