Ivonne — fabulous! Beignets are definitely among my favorite things to eat…these look perfect for a mug of coffee!

I was thinking of making doughnuts the other day - yours look so yummy! Great job!

I agree. Your life is not complete unless you’ve had some (prefferably plenty) fried dough. I’ve never made any myself though. That will have to go on to my to-do list.

You are aking me sooooo hungry. Stop it. Can’t you make something I don’t like, maybe liver and onions or finnan haddie? My waistline can’t take it…. Ah, the trials and tribulations of loving food. I am putting this, along with the muffin recipe, on my “must try” list, which seems to be getting longer by the day.

Anything fried is good, especially sweet stuff! They look wonderful!

I also was in bliss with Orangette’s fritters - both hers and your beignets are bookmarked for the holidays!

stop it your wicked devil!
these were my first thoughts when I saw your post and now I have read the comments I can see I am not the only one thinking the same thing!

Oh no!!!! Can’t let the boy see this post - he’ll *force* me to make them and then I’ll *have* to eat them all!!!

Ivonne, you’re killing me. I seem to remember you doing a beignet post not too long ago as well. I applaud your affinity for fried dough because I’m head over heels for it myself.

And now I have an idea….

Oh, I think it’s gorgeous, i want to try to cook it… And i like cinnamon

Mamma mia Ivonne che meraviglia! Mi piacciono anche le tazze di questo colre:)

reminds me of malasadas back home!

Mmmm, all that sugary fried goodness! I want to reach out and grab one.

Damn you once again, Creampuff! And I had just gone out to buy all the ingredients for the muffins…

What is it with doughnuts this week - both you and Joe Pastry made them! I do think your’s looks a *little* easier to make though. Doughnut holes were my favorite growing up. Your’s look really, really good. Thanks Ivonne.

Yum! I found a similiar recipe in Nigella’s Feast book that caught my interest.. seeing these seals the deal, going to have to make them ASAP.

My God — brilliant idea. If I make these, my husband & kids will worship me as a goddess.

As I like being worshipped, I’ll be making these soon.

Thanks for the great recipe (and the gorgeous pictures)!

Ivonne - this sounds so simple and they look so yummy! I don’t have much experience deep fryi

Sorry, my last post got cut off… I was going to say: I don’t have much experience deep frying, does it matter what kind of pot that I use?

As a god of the modern age would say: Mmm Dooo[ugh]nuts!!! *drool*

Aha…that’s where all the donut holes went

I love recipes that can be made in advance like this! I think I’m going to make the dough late Saturday night, to fry on Sunday morning as a treat for the boyfriend. OK OK I’m just using him as an excuse…

Come on Ivonne, I can’t take much more of this. I’m walking an hour a day now.
Drat, they really do just beg to be popped into the open mouth! And how perfect to mix the dough the night before! Way cool!
You’ve done it again.

That is the most gorgeous photo I’ve seen all week! Should be in a magazine. Those fritters look delicious.

As usual, everything on your blog looks wonderful and those beignets sound tremendously yummy!

Your picture is really great Ivonne! Dough and deep frying, such a great combo!

Looks yummy. Are these the same as doughnuts ?

These look awesome!

Paz

Ivonne, I’ve been following your blog for a couple of months now, and I love it! I look forward to your every post.

It’s appropriate that you mention beignets, because just this weekend I made cinnamon sugar donut holes. They were yummy, but these sound much more delicious. It’s definitely on my list of recipes to test out soon…like many of your other posts! Keep ‘em coming!

Yum! And that top photo is just gorgeous.

Your photography and styling get better with each post. It always amazes the quality of food, photography, helpful hints, ideas, etc., available from all the foodies. What an open, sharing spirit everyone has. What fun!

Wow, these looks absolutely divine!!! And those muffins… wow, I am just so impressed! Just beautiful!

Oh my! Those look good enough to get me over my fear of frying!

MY COOKIE BOOK CAME!!! I’m so excited. If only there were more pictures! I guess I’ll just have to make everytihng and take pictures myself. I read the whole thing cover-to-cover (as I am nerdily wont to do) and could only find one or two recipes I had everything for already…so I ended up making the orange-pistachio biscotti (with honey, cinnamon and olive oil). Yum!

wow–these look wonderful! we have lots and lots of fried foods over here during carnevale time, and this looks similar to one of those local sweets. The best I do with fried desserts is sopaipillas on Mexican Food night :)!

Hi everyone,

Once again all I can say is WOW! Thank you so much for the great comments.

I’m glad you like the picture. It’s one of the first ones that I took off these doughnuts. In the end I settled on that one.

If you have the chance to make these please do. They’re quite easy and worth the effort of deep frying.

Take care!

I have been hoping to make some beignets too, yours look so finger licking good!

Hi Ivonne,

The doughnuts look wonderful! Your photo is fantastic. Apparently I need to hire you as my food sytlist!

Hmm..
Reminds me of Timbits Must give this a try!

Oh my Ivonne! They look delicious. Haven’t had the opportunity to make beignets in awhile. The last time I did, I tucked a little well chilled ball of chocolate ganache in the middle. I am a sucker for chocolate and, of course, fried dough, savoury or sweet. I have to say, I keep looking at that glorious photo of yours and now coffee and beignets are on my weekend to do list!
Thank you for the inspiration!

Hi Bron,

Your comments are all so sweet! Just like you …

Hi Sam,

Thanks but I think it’s the other way around!

:o)

Hi Ceendy,

Yes! You should scream for beignets on your blog!

Ciao Mary,

Thanks so much. You know I’ve been thinking about you lately … and great idea about tucking a surprise in the beignets. I’ll have to try that one next time!

How did I POSSIBLY miss this post???!!!! I Should drop out of school to read your blog full-time! Honestly, these beignets made me gasp with delight.

Hi Rorie,

Well then I’m glad you found it!

We can only buy bloks of fresh yeast, 40gr I think it is. Would that be enough?
