Beignets

Beignets are a type of deep-fried pastry that is often light and airy, typically made from a dough that may include flour, water, yeast, and sometimes milk or sugar. They are commonly associated with French cuisine but have also been embraced in various cultures, particularly in Louisiana, where they are a popular treat often enjoyed with coffee. Beignets are usually square-shaped and dusted with powdered sugar, making them sweet and indulgent. They can be served plain or sometimes filled with various sweet or savory fillings. The texture is usually crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, making them a delicious and favored dessert or snack.
