Got Beignets?

You can't have a trip to New Orleans without having beignets. We visited with our cousins, Todd, Amy, Gabe and Aunt Joyce who live in Slidell, LA. On Saturday morning we went to The Beignet Station in Slidell. I was worried they might not be as good as Cafe Du Monde but....They were soooo good.
They make something called Beginet minis. They are about as big as a donut hole. Which makes them much easier to eat. You don't have to worry about the powdered sugar choking you as you try to eat, inhale and swallow. If you've ever had beignets you know what I'm talking about.
It was not a great day to wear a black shirt, But Trent managed anyway. We dusted him off and he was OK.
More to come about our fun weekend trip......

Just saw a recipe for mini beniets in this month's Southern Living.
Using canned biscuits, quarter each biscuit and drop in hot cooking oil for approx. 2 minutes. Sprinkle abundant amount of powdered sugar on them. Eva
