Costas French Market Doughnuts (Beignets)

Costas French Market Doughnuts (Beignets)

As kids, we always put in a heartfelt request for these Costas French Market doughnuts (beignets) on Christmas Eve. It was quite a family affair—my mom would make up the dough, my dad would roll them out and cut them, and then after frying them up, we kids would take turns shaking them in a paper bag with confectioners' sugar! I finally got to go to New Orleans and was excited to try "the real thing'" at the famous Cafe Du Monde...I was so happy because my husband and I said our recipe was a near-carbon copy of Cafe Du Monde! We've made this recipe for over 40 years, and I promise it won't disappoint!
