B is for beignets. Beignets are deep fried pastry dough with powdered sugar and prepared before consumption. In New Orleans, Cafe Du Monde is typically the place where first-timers go for a taste of these little pillows of deliciousness. An order comes with three pieces and goes perfectly with chicory coffee. Breakfast of champions.

Yummmm, I have great memories of eating these last time we were in Nola.
ReplyDeleteIt's dangerous to inhale while trying to take a bite of these beignets.
Talk about sputtering and coughing...and then going back for another bite to be washed down with delicious coffee.
And now of course I'm craving a Beignet...Yummy choice for B!
ReplyDeleteI just ate but the beautiful food is making me want to eat again. Carver, ABC Wed. Team
ReplyDeleteThey do look delish! Probably pretty messy too with all that powder sugar!
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought I read it as 'binignit' which is a kind of Filipino dessert. Must have been a little dyslexic for a split sec. But they look like little pillows indeed!
ReplyDeleteTasty, though I never knew the name.
