New Orleans Beignets — Cajun recipe

New Orleans Beignets

Light, pillowy squares of yeasted dough, fried until puffed and golden and buried under a snowfall of powdered sugar, just like the French Quarter cafés. The dough rests overnight in the fridge, so they come together quickly in the morning.
