Beignets
without sugar
Beignet
is a French word for “fried
fritter,” brought to Louisiana by the France nuns to New Orleans,
Louisiana in 1727.
I
search through internet, yes, there are beignets in Paris, France
equivalent to beignets found in Louisiana now days.
Pronounce
for beignet are:
-
BEN-yay
-
bayn-YAY
-
ben-YAY
-
beɪnˈjeɪ
-
bɛnˈjeɪ
I
don’t know whether other states in the USA have their own beignet.
Since, the pastry is typical in Louisiana, its designated as official
state of doughnut in 1986, around 35 years ago.
Finger
beignets
Generally,
beignets
are covered with sugar (powdered sugar) on top or
without sugar,
I saw two forms of beignets:
-
a square pieces
-
finger pieces
Beignets
covered
with sugar
are ready to consume
Both
forms could be found in most cities in Louisiana. In my city, Baton
Rouge, I almost come to coffee shop near by my house almost every
weeks.
The
oldest shop to sell beignets is “Cafe du Monde,” located in
French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana.
Frying
beignets in the hot cooking oil.
The
shop has sold beignets since 1862, more than 150 years ago. Very long
time ago, and to be iconic cafe for “café
au laits.”
The
most popular coffee shop to sell beignets in Baton Rouge is Coffee Call (You may

Rouge?
Based
on internet searching, in addition to Louisiana, USA and France,
other countries consume beignets (kinds
of beignets)
are Canada, Vietnam, Indonesia,
and Malaysia.
Have
you tried beignets? What it called in your countries?
We had beignets at Cafe du Monde in New Orleans many, many years ago. I remember how delicious it was. It vaguely reminded me of the Portuguese malasadas.

Beignets without sugar
Many a day has found me roaming around Jackson Square munching on beignet. My favorite date included a late night stop at Café du Monde. If a person doesn't want their own beignet from scratch, the Café du Monde's mix can be found in many supermarkets in the south. It can also be purchased online.
ReplyDeleteThank you

DeleteI haven't tried them, Evi, but I would love to be able to do it. The closest thing we have here in Argentina is the crescent of fat, although there are also butter, they are sweet, and can even be served with ham and cheese as if they were in sandwich. Delicious.

DeleteThank you Sinforosa.
Hi Evi oh they look yummy I haven't heard of these ,but I sure would like to try one lol xx
ReplyDeleteIt's yummy Sheryl.
DeleteFritters are a deep-rooted Spanish custom, whose origin must be sought in Sephardic Jews, who since the 10th century have prepared to celebrate ‘Chanukah’, fried buns with wheat flour called que bimuelos ’. The introduction of these buns in the celebration of All Saints is a Christian modification, because of its proximity to the Jewish Hanukkah. Subsequently, they became very famous in Madrid, where they became as popular as churros.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Tuesday!
Wow, I just knew about those things, Estrella. Very interesting.
DeleteThank you Estrella
These look like our local Chinese crullers.
ReplyDeleteI think so :)
DeleteThank you Nancy!

DeleteThank you Anita
U nas piecze się ciasteczka nazywane "chruścikami" w podobny sposób to przysmak . Czasami smaży się podobne ciasteczka do tych z postu w kształcie kwiatków z powidłami. :)

Hello Dear Evi!

Deleteda fare assolutamente
ReplyDeleteNigdy nie jadłam takich pączków ale wyglądają smakowicie :)
ReplyDeleteCieplutko pozdrawiam!
Hope to try one one day
ReplyDeleteHola, Evi. Aquí en España, sobre todo en Andalucía, se hacen dos tipos de buñuelos, unos, se suelen tomar como desayuno o merienda y se acompañan de una taza de chocolate, lo normal es tomarlos sin nada pero hay quien los espolvorea con azúcar y canela en polvo. Los otros, se toman como aperitivo o comida, y se suelen acompañar de cerveza o de un buen vino, que como sabrás, en España tenemos de los mejores del mundo, bueno, volviendo al tema... estos buñuelos no solo son de harina, levadura y agua, como los primeros, sino que se suelen mezclar la masa con bacalao, gambas, etc. (te los recomiendo si alguna vez vienes por Sevilla) aunque aquí le llamamos "Pavía de bacalao". Hay quien piensa que su origen viene del año 1525, cuando tuvo lugar la "Batalla de Pavía".
ReplyDeleteLos de tu país, según tus fotografías, tienen muy buena pinta, por lo que deben de estar riquísimos.
Un abrazo.
Hi Manuel! Great to know about the history of this kind of fritter. I wish I can visit Seville someday, sure, I will try Pavia de Cod. I bet, it is very savory.
DeleteThank you Manuel.
Que buena pinta! ♡♡♡ muchas gracias por tus bonitas palabras en mi blog ! Buenas noches! 🍁🍂♡
