Celebrate Fat Tuesday with the classic New Orleans breakfast of hot French doughnuts.
Why try? Hey, it took New Orleans 43 years to win a championship. Why not add a little Mardi Gras to your morning in recognition of the Saints.
Foodie Byte: To make your Mardi Gras breakfast complete.
Ingredients
- Beignet mix
- 7 ounces water
Preparation
-
In a bowl mix 2 cups of Beignet mix and 7 ounces water. Stir with spoon until well blended.
-
Roll to 1/8-inch thickness on floured surface, using flour liberally on dough. Cut dough into 2 1/4-inch squares. Makes about 2 dozen.
-
Fry in an inch or two of oil at 370°F basting continually on each side until puffy and light golden. Drain well. (Oil should be hot enough for dough to pop to surface in 8-10 seconds.) An electric skillet will work best.
-
While hot, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
