How to Make Baked Beignets
The beignet is a delicious treat from the southern United States. Beignets resemble doughnut bites and can be filled with various preserves, chocolate or other fillings. While beignets are usually fried in a big pot of oil, you can bake beignets in the oven instead. Baking beignets instead of frying them will save you the headache of babysitting them while they fry and also save you calories. Impress your household by making oven-baked beignets for your next dessert.
