This recipe is wonderful! I used it for a block party a few weekends ago. They were a huge hit and even some die hard New Orleans people thought they tasted pretty on to the real things. So happy!

This was absolutely amazing!!!! Each beignet was perfectly delicious. The only thing I would change about the recipe was to cut them bigger than 1 in by 1 inch squares. I got about 300 instead of 36 beignets. However, they were just as delectable tiny as to big.

AMAZING! The recipe was easy to follow and the result was delicious, fluffy, yummy, perfect beignets. I cut the recipe in half and that was still too much dough for me to cook at once, so I cut the half batch in half and saved some dough for the next day. Both times I cooked up the beignets were a success. I highly suggest any beignet lovers to try this, especially if you have little princesses at home who love the Disney movie "The Princess and the Frog".

The only thing I did differently is cut them larger. The Cafe du Monde beignets in the French Quarter are about three inches square and I like them larger, as they're more authentic that way and I don't have to keep getting more when I'm eating them. Bite size isn't my thing!

Outstanding, the recipe makes tons, so I halfed it. Easy to make, great for a party, I'm making them for Christams Eve again. We dipped the beignets in seedless raspberry jam or nutella, everyone loved it!

Even though I am not very good at baking (even though I LOVE it, these were very very easy to make!! As I work for Disney and have seen the Princess and the Frog movie multiple times at work, I decided to go home and make them myself. I even got my little sister and her girlfriend involved. We loved seeing them puff up so beautifully and even more....loved tasting them! As the recipe made WAY too many, I stored the dough for now, but next time, will make less....or depending on how it works out tomorrow...may just store it again. :

I had high expectations and was not disappointed! I would definitely recommend cutting the recipe in half if you aren't feeding a large crowd. I can't say enough about the beignets! They were mmmm mmmm good!

These are excellent. I do not know why beignets don't have more of a following. Easy to make and we will make them the night before, put to do in the fridge after the 2 hr rise and then fry them up in the morning with some fruit to go on the side. Wonderful! Aside from the powder sugar we will also use honey, chocolate sauce or even just plain.

My daughter and I made these this morning and they are amazing! Perhaps I cut them too small, but we made far more than 3 dozen beignets with this recipe. We will definitely make them again and may try some variations! Love them!
