I made this recipe with my French students and they were in love! The whole hallway smelled like fried food though and I had to appease the other teachers by giving them lots of samples! I took the advice to let the dough rise again after punching it down the first time. I'm not sure what a difference it really made since it didn't rise much afterwards. I may try to grease the bowl before placing the dough in it to rise. It was difficult to scrape it off the sides.

Very close to Cafe Du Monde beignets and very easy to prepare. (Much better than the mix they sell at Cafe Du Monde.) Now I have something to hold me over until the next time I get to New Orleans! Thank you.

Wow...my husband and daughter loved having a New Orleans type breakfast this morning, complete with a chickory blend of coffee that I happened to have. Been to Cafe DuMonde too many times to count and they said these were even better. For most of them, I used the traditional powdered sugar, and a few with cinnamon/sugar mixture. After cutting them with a pizza cutter, I let them sit for about 15 minutes while finishing up the bacon and when they cooked, they quadrupled in size--just beautiful. I am definitely going to take the previous reviewer's advise and make cinnamon-pecan rolls with the rest tomorrow. And maybe next time a spinach/mushroom type mixture since it's not sweet unless coated with sugar. This is absolutely a great find.

This is a wonderful recipe. The dough just gets better as you let it sit in the fridge. Because it makes so much, you can just pull out what you want to cook, punch the rest down and put it back in the fridge. You can also make cinnamon rolls out of this recipe as well. Roll it out into a rectangle, spread butter on it, sprinkle it with cinnamon/sugar mixture. I also fine chopped some apples and pecans and put in it as well. Roll up along the long side, pinch and seal the edge, then cut into inch wide rounds. Place cut side down on parchment paper and let them rise. Pop them in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes. Mix 2 T melted butter, 1 t. vanilla, 1 T milk and enough powdered sugar to make a thick spread and drizzle it on the rolls while they are still hot. Yum!

Absolutely amazing!!!! I've never had the beignets in New Orleans but I think these taste great. They are like mini-fried doughs from fairs. The recipe yields a very large amount so I actually freeze a portion and make them later.

These Beignets were the best I've had with out actually going to Cafe Du Monde, I'm glad that I can still have warm, light beignets living in Montana! I couldn't figure out how long to chill for so I settled on about an hour and a half.

My son is allergic to eggs to I took out the real eggs and changed it to 3 TBS of vegie oil, 3 TBS water & 2 tsp of baking powder. He LOVED them and so did the rest of my family and my neighbors. I had enough to share!

These were a HUGE hit at a recent brunch. I definitely concur that you'll need more confectioner's sugar than the recipe calls for. Also, the recipes claims that it serves ten with the proportions provided. For me, the recipe made roughly 60 2" x 2" beignets. Thanks for sharing!

This was a very good recipe. My dough turned out very sticky and I couldn't roll it out, so I pinched off pieces somewhere between teaspoon and tablespoon sized. The oil worked better for me between 320 and 340 degrees F. Next time I will add another half cup of flour and a teaspoon or so of vanilla. Still, it was delicious and I had plenty to share.

I don't know. I must have done something wrong, but these didn't turn out how I would have liked. Bland, even though I added more vanilla and sugar. I heated the oil to the required temp, but they still were somewhat gooey (read: uncooked)on the inside. Finally I made very tiny balls, but they just didn't seem right. Will try again, though.

This recipe is now a family tradition for xmas morning! Of course...it is going to be made way more often than once a year...I'd be hard pressed to pick out which was Cafe Du Monde's (fresh in the cafe) and which was this recipe in a taste test. There is a STEP MISSING from the recipe and it is crucial!! After you have allowed the dough to rise punch out the dough flatten and then allow to rise a SECOND time...only needs to be for an hour. This will ensure the beignets are full and fluffy inside and not flat and well...not fluffy inside. Cheers, Dane

These are good. Like other reviewers I used sweetened condensed milk because it's what I had in my pantry. I sprinkled some with powdered sugar and some with cinnamon granulated sugar. My family liked the cinnamon better. Thanks for the great recipe.

These were delicious!! I was in the same boat as another reviewer who didn't have evaporated milk. I used sweetened condensed milk instead and they turned out just fine. I used a small star cookie cutter and they were so cute! They were puffy and golden. Also, we tried topping them with hot fudge and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend this recipe!

Fabulous! I'll admit that I was nervous when I let the dough sit overnight and it looked like bread- but I fried it up and it was just like how I remember them tasting. The neighbors were impressed!
