We Southerners love beignets! If you have ever been to Cafe du Monde in New Orleans and had their famous chicory coffee and beignets you know what I am talking about. A beignet is a pastry made from dough and deep fried then rolled in confectioners sugar. This is an easy way to make these little treats and you won’t be able to stop eating them! A great family activity because children love them as well as adults.
Spread each biscuit into a circle and add 4 chocolate chips and fold the biscuit in half, pressing edges together. Drop each biscuit into boiling oil around 350 degrees. They will come to the top as soon as you drop them in oil. Turn to brown both sides and remove from oil with slotted spoon. Have a bowl of confectioners sugar read and roll hot biscuits in sugar. Drizzle with chocolate syrup. Enjoy!
We like these with and without the syrup.
