Pillowy New Orleans-Style Beignets
These fluffy, slightly chewy beignets are inspired by the iconic Café du Monde treats. Made with a wet yeasted dough enriched with a touch of whole‑wheat flour, they fry up golden and are finished with a generous dusting of powdered sugar. Perfect for a weekend brunch or a coffee‑house snack at home.
