If there is one thing that is absolutely needed for carnival, it’s deep-fried sweets! Who – or better said – what else is supposed to soak up all the alcohol you consumed at a carnival party? Deep-fried donuts, fritters, and beignets! Exactly! However, this does not mean that people who don’t drink alcohol (I’m one of them) are not allowed to eat those sweet little treats… we like them too and we definitely devour them as well after a long night of partying ;P
Many many moons ago, I brought a recipe for Classic New Orleans Beignets home from the US. Delicious delicacies that are actually not only great during carnival – they are actually great to make all year round ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
