One can’t talk about sweet treats in New Orleans without mentioning beignets. I had no idea how easy and yummy this quick substitute could be until about a year ago. (Probably a good thing for my jeans…).
It’s so easy that anyone can make it! Seriously!
You Will Need:
- 1 large can of the cheapest little buttermilk biscuits (The cheap ones fluff up the best.)
- Powdered sugar
- Oil for frying (your choice; we usually use vegetable or canola oil).
- Large frying pan
- Tongs
- knife
- Sugar sifter
To Make the Biscuit Beignets
Preheat the oil in a frying pan. Pour just enough so that the biscuits will float without touching the bottom of the pan.
While the oil is heating, cut each biscuit in half.
Gently place the biscuit halves in the hot oil. They will begin to brown within seconds.
Flip each half to cook thoroughly. Remove from oil. Place them on a plate with a napkin to help absorb the grease.
Once all of your biscuit halves are cooked, cover them in powdered sugar.
Biscuit Beignets
A quick, easy beignet recipe anyone can make!
Ingredients
- Canned Biscuits (the cheap one work the. best)
- Powdered Sugar
- Cooking oil
Instructions
Preheat the oil in a large frying pan. I pour just enough so that the biscuits will float, without touching the bottom of the pan.
While the oil is heating, cut each biscuit in half.
Gently place the biscuit halves in the hot oil. They will begin to brown within seconds. Once the first side has browned, flip them over to fully cook the other side.
Once both sides are brown, remove the beignets from the oil. I usually put them on a plate with a napkin to help absorb any excess grease.
Once all of your biscuit halves, aka beignets, are cooked, cover them in powdered sugar.
