This is NOT easy. Very misleading title.

Try a longer handle set of tongs, as a chef myself, they are probably my most used kitchen tool!

Made these in honor of the New Orleans’ Super Bowl. Easy to make

I was wondering if these can be made in an Air fryer? If yes, temperature,
how long and any other needed tips/tricks.
I have been following you for a long time and have 3 of your books
Absolutely love them, your site and your inspiration.
Have a great day and thanks in advance.

I made the beignets this morning and they were wonderful. One tiny comment: when I tried to flip the beignets in the oil, some of them refused to flip. They just kept flipping back to the already-brown side. I had to hold them in place in order for the second side to cook. Do you have this problem and do you have any suggestions for fixing it?

Absolutely, use butter :)

We don’t use shortening for anything here and don’t want to buy shortening for only using this recipe. Thanks

One question: in step 4 you say simply to stir everything together to combine. Doe this mean that the dough doesn’t need to be kneaded? Thank you in advance!

Hi Will :) You caught me at a time when I was updating the post and I accidentally deleted the recipe card! I’m so sorry! Everything has been added back. Apologies! It’s 2 teaspoons of shortening.

On one laptop I have a nice recipe card with all of the ingredients laid out with measurements and then the recipe. On this laptop there are just comments about the ingredients, and you have to pull out the measurements from the directions. Can the separate list be brought back?! :-)

Thank you!!! PS – Made this recipe twice and its been a hit each time, zero issues! I did make it with 2 tsp shortening which is what displays on the other page setup, and this version shows 2 tbsp. Not sure the impact it would have, but the lesser amount was still great!

Boiling water 3T on egg white = cooked egg white ?
