I know, we just had beignets last week. But I get on these kicks, as you may have noticed.
The leftover cream cheese frosting in my fridge needed to be turned into something. There was just enough to pipe over a batch of beignets, studded with candied citron and currants and spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Why not? (This is why I was hesitant to own a deep fryer. Opportunities keep presenting themselves.)
A good shake of powdered sugar and icing crosses to upgrade the usual buns.
Get ’em while they’re hot.
