Beignets made the old fashioned way without yeast. This method is as simple as making a batter and spooning into the hot oil. OLD FASHIONED BEIGNETS are wonderful and considering how little work they are to put together, they are a real treat and make there own pattern when dropped. A few pantry staples, hot oil and powdered sugar are all you need for this delicious piece of heaven.

Beignets are commonly known in the U.S. as a dessert served with powdered sugar on top, however, they may be savory dishes as well and may contain meat, vegetables, or fruits. Beignets are traditionally prepared right before consumption to be eaten fresh and hot. The most popular drink served with this type of no hole doughnut is Café au lait (heated coffee and heated milk) popularized contemporarily in part by Café du Monde in New Orleans.
