kcalMardi Gras & Fat Tuesday are not complete with out little beignets! If in New Orleans these sweet treats are deep fried and covered in loads of powdered sugar. Here we have a very simple variation using a can of store bought organic biscuits for ease. If you feel inspired, stir up a simple batch of dough from your own biscuit or bread recipe. I cut the dough into small bite sized chunks and either air fry or deep fry them before tossing in powdered sugar or refined sugar. I love a dash of cinnamon even though its not traditional to the Café du Monde style of beignets. Remember, you can be creative in the kitchen and do you your own way! As they say in New Orleans : “Do want you wanna!”
Enjoy making up this sweet little treat for Mardi Gras Celebrations.
