I loved it!!!!!!!! It came out perfect. I sprinkle half of it with powdered sugar and the other half with regular granulated sugar, I thought it came out better with granulated sugar then the powdered sugar.

Jems - yes, you can use regular flour.

Excellent and very easy. I lived in New Orleans for years and every so often get a serious jonesin' for beignets - these really hit the spot. As other reviewers have mentioned, this makes a lot of dough - I saved some for breakfast the next morning and have divided up the rest and frozen it for the next time I get a hankerin' for beignets!

Pure heaven! I made these Saturday morning and we loved them. Luckily for us, the amount of dough the recipe makes was wayyy too much so this morning, I pulled out some extra dough I had refrigerated and made a fresh batch. I grew up in New Orleans so I have a special love for these things. Paula's recipe is great...we love it!

The first time I made this my family went wild. I had to make it everyday for a week. They gobble this little crispy and lite pastries like air. My kids, husband, and friends love them. When I make them it is always a party at my house. And the recipe is fool proof. You are sure to be called the most amazing cook ever with this recipe.

AMAZING!!! I made them for my daughter's "Princess and the Frog" birthday party and now my friends are requesting that I make them for every occasion! They were easy to make and required very easy to find and accessible ingredients. Even a novice like me had no problem working with the dough.

This dough is incredible, period, whether you want something fried or not. I love these as beignets, as cinnamon rolls, as cinnamon twists, etch. You can fry them as in the recipe, or make twists or rolls using the dough, cinnamon, some sugar, nuts, etch, and bake them in the oven at 350 for 20 or so minutes, depends on what you are making. I had a bunch of dough left over, so I left it in the fridge, then in the morning I made a bunch of little balls that I rolled in cinnamon sugar, added gobs of butter, and made some monkey bread. So delicious. No frying necessary if you can't eat fried foods. We don't eat fried often, but I usually only make this once every couple of months for a most tasty, not healthy, treat.

I make this recipe for guests, especially those who have not been to New Orleans. Don't use cottonseed oil - just use canola oil for heaven's sake! Serve them HOT from the fryer (an electric fry pan works wonderfully with lots of hot coffee. So delicious no one can have just one.
