I first had these wonderful beignets at a car show of all places!! They topped their beignets with flavored "syrups" & powdered sugar. When I bit into one I thought I'd surely died & gone to Heaven!!

Thank you for the recipe so that I may share this little bit of Heaven with people I love!!

One quesion, approximately how many did you get out of the 1/2'd recipe? Thank you in advance!

never eaten beignets. I don’t know how it tastes. I should try as I’m stunned by the picture. but I’m not sure if I should share the result :)

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone.

As far as oil goes, you can use pretty much any oil. I went with Canola here because I had a bunch of it on hand. I would stay away from strong flavored oils like peanut or olive oil.

I was curious: what oil do you use to fry your beignets in?

I’ve seen a few people make these donuts now and I definitely have to give it a try! I love the Artisan Bread in 5 book, it’s really great.

I just ordered this book from Amazon because I was so enchanted with another bread posted on Food Gawker today. How great is it that you’re beautiful beignet recipe is from the same book! You made my day. Thanks, Val

wow, you make it look so easy! I’m definitely going to have to try this out. I’ve made doughnuts before with great success , so I’m sure I could do this :) I’ve always wanted to make brioche as well.

Cheers!

These look amazing. I love that bread baking book.

I was in a book club at one time… and what I enjoyed most about it was creating food that somehow related to the story!
