I'm from Louisiana and I couldn't be more happy that you can pronounce beignets right :')

@AbbyElizzabeth Thank you so much for checking it out!

[xweetok18]

would it be okay to use olive oil?

[CottonseedOilTour]

@xweetok18 Cottonseed oil can handle high temperature cooking better and won't break down and impart off flavors or odors.

[binnsh]

@xweetok18 No, too low a smoking point. Peanut oil is ok, or Google high smoking point oils.

[CottonseedOilTour]

@binnsh Smoke point is determined by free fatty acid content of the oils - hence cottonseed oil is as high as peanut oil.

I have a video on how to eat beignets at cafe du monde

What are your measurement? Will you post the recipe?

[mongomondomongo]

There's a restaurant here that makes savory Beignets with crawfish/cheese/scallions. Feels so wrong but tastes right.

HMM HUNGRY... thank you for posting this... it will help me make the perfect Cafe de Monde Beignet....

[TheBeautixin]

Fantastic job! I am definitely going to try this soon!

[hwiseman1]

Is there any substitute for the shortening that will work?

[Epurope]

wow they look just like cafe du monde's nice job! :D

[sarahunnewell1]

wow. I love beignets... I guess the only throw back here is there are very few measurements, and I always worry about "playing it by ear" Also, what if you want to cook the beignets on a whim and simply don't have cottonseed oil? is there absolutely no other substitute?

Thank you for making this video but I wish you gave us the exact measurements of the ingredients

[WYCHIX5]

Thank you for the video and could you please post the exact recipe. I want to try your recipe.

Thanks
