Bignets... pronounced "Bin-yays." And they're oh-so-yum.
These came hand delivered from Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans, but they're available at World Marketplace/Cost Plus. (not available online though)
After meeting today we went for a bike ride with Trevor and Michelle, later we had dinner at Spooky's & then we headed home to make Bignets. They're so easy to make - just add water, flatten the dough, cut into strips & deep fry in oil. Michelle has made them before so she was the expert, and I watched and learned as these will definitely be made again in this household! Since I was obviously concerned about our donuts being healthy, we deep fried them in Olive Oil instead of Canola. This definitely made them much better for us... in fact, probably even healthy, right?! :-)
