So... you like New Orleans' style beignets... and you'd love to make them at home, but you don't want to go to the trouble of making the dough from scratch. Well, I'm right there with you. I LOVE cooking, but I don't always have the patience required for baking.
So... I have a solution for you... Pick up some flaky-layers biscuits made by Pillsbury or any other brand you like. Split each biscuit into three or four separate layers(or even more than that if you're super talented).
Warm your vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to frying temp (around 375). Deep fry each layer separately until both sides are golden brown. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain... then cover generously with powdered/confectioner's sugar.
And... voila! That's all you need!
It is a messy process... so just be prepared to clean up afterwards. And be sure to have plenty of hungry mouths to gobble them up as even a short can makes a LOT of these bad boys.
YUM!!
