NO YEAST BEIGNETS

PRINCESS AND THE FROG

Light, sweet and airy beignets showered in powdered sugar are the iconic treat of New Orleans. Much like a doughnut, beignets are pockets of deep-fried sweetened dough, with a snowy topping of powdered sugar, which you and the kids will get all over your faces as you take big bites!

WHAT ARE BEIGNETS?

Beignets of New Orleans are different because they are like fluffy doughnuts, and are traditionally rectangular in shape and hidden under a thick dusting of powdered sugar.

CAN I MAKE BEIGNETS WITH OR WITHOUT YEAST?

Yes, you can make both! This recipe is for beignets without yeast, so in a similar style to the traditional beignets of France

Here are some benefits for baking without yeast:

* These beignets take considerably less time to make. Baking with yeast requires you rest the dough in a warm place to prove, in which the yeast develops and the dough rises.

* The beignets are more like a cake rather than a bread.

* My recipe for no-yeast beignets instead uses baking powder and baking soda for the puffy golden snacks to rise.
