Beignets (ben-yay) are a New Orleans pastry, popularized by the Cafe DuMonde in New Orleans.. Normally eaten at breakfast with a cup of hot coffee, If you can't make it to the Big Easy, you can buy the mix on store shelves or from Amazon.
Or, you can make beignets yourself with what you have in the fridge.
Get a can of whop biscuits. You know, the kind in the cardboard roll. The kind you whop on the counter to open. Yeah those. Cut then into quarters, then drop them in hit oil until they are golden brown. Drain on a rack or a paper towel lined tray and sprinkle confectioners' sugar across them.
Serve warm. You are welcome.
