| | Salt Lake City Weekly - Beignet, Done That (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | Also known as a French Market Doughnut, a beignet is pastry dough (white flour, eggs, milk, shortening, and leavening) rolled out and cut into 4-inch thin squares, then deep-fried in boiling oil and served piping hot, topped traditionally with powdered sugar. |
 | | Beignets were brought to Louisiana initially by the Arcadian French who settled there. |
 | | I’ve had beignets at the famed Café du Monde in New Orleans and elsewhere and, to be honest, the ones at Crescent City Beignets taste just as good. |
