Authentic Beignets Recipe France, Europe

The signature dessert of New Orleans, beignets are considered as a kind of doughnut or a fritter that is traditionally prepared from pâte à choux. Scoops of it are dropped into the hot oil and fried until golden brown and crispy when they are transferred onto paper towels to drain. Arranged on plates in orders of three and piled sky-high with sugar, for serving, they are typically paired with café au lait which is a blend of dark roast coffee, chicory, and hot milk.
