Bourbon Street Beignets

Known as THE donut of New Orleans, beignets are donut-hole-like pastries with a generous coating of powdered sugar. Making them slightly smaller than usual may help make them easier to eat (so you can pop them in your mouth), but you really wouldn’t get the full experience without a coating of powdered sugar on yourself!

For BB-PAC20/BB-CEC20 models, divide dough into two, and roll each dough into a ¼” thick, 12” x 9” sheets. For BB-HAC10 model, roll the dough to make one ¼” thick, 12” x 9” sheet. Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut each sheet into 1-1/2” squares and dust the cut ends with flour and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rest in a refrigerator for 15 – 30 minutes.
