I found this exact recipe elsewhere on the internet. I looked on here for Beignets and came across this. I love these alot! My entire family loved them. I want to add a cream cheese filling into them next time I make them.

It's a great recipe. I walked within a half-block of Cafue Du Monde a few years ago, but I couldn't convince anyone to go there. So I have nothing for comparison. I wanted to give it four stars only because I'm not sure it's significantly different than any other fried dough recipe. In fact, it reminds me of the corn nuggets at Sonny's BBQ. But this dough recipe is a little less sweet. Also, I'd like a little more. For example, I plan to mix up a chocolate mousse next time and use a piping bag to squirt some mousse inside the beignets. The best part of the recipe is that the dough could be used for much more. I think it might work for Jamaican beef. Given its utility, I decided to give it a full five stars. But I'd like to see what people can do by combining this recipe with another on the site.

Very good! The full recipe made 52 beignets (not all exactly the same size)! I think I'll try half a recipe next time.

Yummy Yummy beignets. Haven't tasted the real thing from Cafe Du Monde, but judging from the outcome of these yummy delights I can imagine what the real taste must taste like :) Also what I did was to eat them with sardine in tomato sauce. Tips when frying: Make sure the oil is not TOO hot or the inside won't cook and the outside would browned too much. Always flip them over and over again to get even colors on both sides. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

All FOUR of us loved the recipe. Making dough and frying was very simple. One of us is from Louisiana, and he very much enjoyed these beignets. Serve with some cafe au lait if you can!

these were really good. But were way too sticky to roll out and I was in a hurry. after a few failed attempts, I basically fried them in globs i tore by hand from the batter. They were still really tasty once disguised with generous helpings of powdered sugar. Dusted some of them very lightly with cinnamon and used some maraschino cherries just to add a festive appearance-- made a great birthday breakfast for my sweetie, along with an ice caffe latte!

Have made these several times and they are wonderful! I follow the recipe exactly. A friend used to live in New Orleans and ate at Cafe Dumond weekly and she says these are the real deal. Thanks!

They taste just like the real thing. I was only missing my Community coffee to dunk them in. It was great having something different for our Sunday breakfast.
