BEIGNETS

Homemade beignets have been on my list of things to try for a while now. We had a couple of friends over for brunch on Sunday and I finally had an excuse to make them. (Brunch is my favorite meal to go overboard with. There are so many yummy options...and I like to serve them ALL.)

I used Paula Deen's recipe and I think they turned out pretty tasty. (I figured if I'm gonna make something deep fried and Southern...Paula Deen is probably my go-to gal.) And I'm pretty sure it's virtually impossible to mess them up. Or ANY kind of fried dough for that matter. It's just inherently DELICIOUS. So...yay for beignets...a pleasure to both cook AND eat. I have a feeling they are going to be a brunch staple around here.
