Beignets!

On Thanksgiving morning, we started the day with beignet making - with mix brought straight back from Cafe du Monde. I'm thinking it might be the start of a new tradition. Now...will I remember this next year?

Helen and Connor proved to be able assistants - first rolling and then cutting the dough.

Connor was the more proficient of the two...

but what Helen lacked in skill, she made up for with diligence and style!

  2. I have been craving beignets since Thanksgiving! I want to try John Besh's recipe but it's a yeast recipe and takes more time.
