Beignets- Tastes like New Orleans

This post is sponsored by Nellie’s Eggs. All opinions are my own.

A couple of years ago, my husband and I took a trip to New Orleans. I love the city. So much delicious food and we had so little time to enjoy it. This is where I was first introduced to beignets. We ordered a couple with cafe au lait and sat back to savor the flavor. It was pure heaven. I mean, we were covered in powdered sugar but we loved every bite.

I decided I had to make sure we had the chance to enjoy beignets at home.

This recipe takes a little longer than I thought it would to make them. However, just think of the delicious Beignet you could enjoy in the comforts of your own home. I loved having a little taste of New Orleans back with me.

For this recipe, I used Nellie’s Free Range Eggs. Nellie’s is certified humane and became the first egg company in the world to achieve Certified B Corporation. And of course, the farms they get their eggs from are certified free-range: which means that during most times of the day and year, the hens are free to roam outside as they please. To see where Nellie’s eggs are sold in your area, make sure you check your location. I found mine at our local Giant Eagle.

If you get the chance to try out this recipe, let me know! I’d love to know what you think.
