Day 3 - Beignets to Make and Eat

Last fall we took a week's vacation and went on a road trip to Kitty Hawk, NC. We both tried hang-gliding and loved it. What we didn't get to try were the beignets at The Left Bank in Duck, NC. While they were listed on the menu and described in mouth-watering detail, something was wrong with their frying equipment and they were unable to comply with our order.

After we had returned, I was looking through the bread machine cookbook and noticed a recipe for beignets. Since then, I've pondered giving it a go, but was a little intimidating. Its been almost a year of not trying it, do this year of new stuff seemed like a good time to jump in. Turns out it wasn't so tough, and yummy too!

  1. Do I get a beignet for being your first follower? ;)

  2. If you were in Burlington, you could run over to Julie's office for one. Since you're probably not, I'll give you something better when I'm back - the recipe! Then you can make them and have them fresh from the pan!
