BAKED BEIGNETS

Baked Beignets are sweet baked treat that are part bread, part doughnut. It was introduced by French families in Louisiana  during  mid 1700 along with their chicory coffee.

 Never baked beignets before but  when I saw them on the net, decided to bake them myself. There are two types of beignets - fried or baked. Of course my choice goes to healthier version and easy method.

Combination of  Baked Beignets and sweet coffee  are  so satisfying and filling too.  Start baking yours to enjoy this lovely bake!
