Beignets (Louisiana-style Dougnuts)

Have you seen that part in theChef where they go to Cafe Du Monde and eat the best beignets in the world. Yeah, thats where I got the grand idea to make these bad boys and it just so happens that they turned out to be incredibly EASY and such a MAJOR MAJOR crowd pleaser.and very addictive.be careful. Anyways, hopefully you give these a go and if you do, make sure you SHARE with your friends and family. It wont be easy though. \r
