The first time I made beignets, I used canola oil. We had just come from New Orleans and my husband and I both said, good, but not exactly right. If you want the taste of NOLA, cottonseed oil is what they use to fry them up. Sadly, I can't find it on the west coast and now can't find it online, at least not affordable. :(
To Elle,maybe is was a simple misprint,maybe they meant Make Beignets ..thanks for your clever hubbys comment,it made me laugh.
This is a traditional recipe and if it could be baked it certainly would alter the taste and texture.
I was directed to this recipe with the email stating "How to Bake Beignets". I do not see any information in this recipe regarding baking. Disappointing. My husband said it's a "bake and switch" email. (wry smile)
I have only had Beignets a few times. Every time the center was gooey. What are the people doing wrong that leaves them apparently uncooked in the center?
It could be you are not rolling it thin enough these are much like
Mexican Sopapillas it has to be thin
