That may be why I don’t love all beignets. It must be the oil & that peanut oil makes the difference. Usually they remind me of fried yeast rolls with powdered sugar
I've had a silicone scrubby pad to wash up dough and it has lasted me 4 years or more. I use it for all dishes, never going back to a sponge ever. The floppy pads are cheaper and easier to use. I bought a 3 pack and I am still using the first one.
I crocheted a scrubbie out of scrubbie yarn, and it's the best thing for removing dough from pans as well as paint and glue from my fingers when I'm doing crafts. I made a small one with a loop in it to hang on the bathtub spigot for when I need to clean the tub.
I'll be very honest, some of this stuff that you make I have no interest in making or learning to make just because it's outside my physical capabilities or very restrictive diet. But I still watch alot of your videos and any ofmthem that randomly come up in my feed. Because your personality is so sparkling and comforting like a warm hug from your Grandma when she's not there to give you one even though you really, really need one. So thank you for putting your kindness out there.
I got some chain mail when I got a cast iron pan, and was pleasantly surprised when I found that it's useful for much more than just the pan. I use it in the same way you use the doap here: For substantial messes that will gunk up a sponge or brush.
Our stop at Cafe du Monde in NOLA was life-changing, not only because of the beignets but we had coffee with chicory which was not only so good but easier on our bellies (and we have some sensitive guts!)
Isn't New Orleans the best? I was born in Louisiana but never really went to NO to play until a few years ago. Beignets are soooo good! Also the best music ever 😊❤
The second I heard that happy humming after your first bite, I had to hit the like button right there hahahaha. Your happiness is everyone else's happiness. Thank you for your videos!!
OMG memories you just took me back to the year 2000 when I had my first beignets and coffee, I didn't really enjoy the chicory coffee to much but those powdery squares of heaven !!! Thank goodness I live close enough I can get them anytime.... nothing beats that entire experience 💙
We always would just take pre-made biscuit dough that comes in the can. You roll it out a little bit and cut it into pieces and it makes perfect beignets.
You make me wish I liked coffee. I've tried... I just can't. You made this combination look delectable. I may try this recipe, but with a hearty cuppa tea, instead.
The way most people get introduced to coffee is a very very milky and sweet coffee au lait or coffee flavored milk with sugar. No coffee shame nowadays if you still like it that way. In days before Starbucks, you would be expected to drink the coffee plain black without any sugar. I tried, but I prefer some cream and some sugar. Do what pleases you!
I forced myself to drink coffee for the health benefits. I started with milk and sugar and practically held my nose. Eventually I liked it, but always with milk.
I will always remember my first trip to New Orleans with my grandparents and great uncle and aunt... I know my grandfather and his best friend my great uncle belonged to some organization that had a to-do in New Orleans. They planned to visit my Uncle, their 3rd child, who worked for the GM&O Railroad as a passenger car steward. They always woke up early having grown up on farms....and I think we may have been the first at Cafe Du Monde that morning... got to watch them open the awnings and shutters.... and they got two bags of Beignets, one of powder sugar and the other with the cinnamon & powder sugar. Everyone got a cup of chicory coffee but I got a double cream hot chocolate.... I sat in my granpappys lap the whole time, him dunking a Beignet in his coffee and sometimes feeding me a bit of soaking Beignet rich with coffee and milk...both kinds were wonderful coffee soaked. Meemaw gave him an earful about feeding me Beignets soaked in coffee... I know I wasn't even 2 yet. I think thats the best way to experience Cafe Du Monde the first time.... next time I'd be with my parents and that time? I got to meet Mr. and Mrs. Louis Armstrong.... over at some smokey Jazz Club.... good memories.
lived in south louisiana my whole life (i am cajun), grew up in greater new orleans.. i swear this is one of the only times i've seen someone make beignets and they actually look just like cafe du monde's beignets. i usually don't watch anyone make beignets because something's going to be off but i've watched you for years, so i know better. excellent work. and that reminds me of when you made pralines and they came out authentic too! you do right by us!
In 1983 I was 16. Went to NO with my mom. Our hotel was in the French Quarter. I happened upon Care du Monde, the most awesome pastry I've ever had. Coffee too! Beignets are the best ❤
in Brazil we have a VERY similar desert its called Sonho (means dream.) and it's just like this but is usually round and it's served with custard(or Doce de Leite you probably know as Dulce de leche) inside 10/10 would recommend you to try
@@emmymadeYES, PLEASE. Made my first loaf after watching your butter candle video, also was super interested in the girl that you featured, and I’d love to see another bread video PLEASEEEE AND thank you!!!!
Miss Emmy... You are just delightful. I can't have gluten but I love watching your videos to inspire me to make it gluten free. Your optimism inspired me to play around with recipes and because of that, I have the most perfect gluten free bread recipe that I came up with. I appreciate you! ♥️♥️♥️
I grew up in Maryland but for some reason my mother always made coffee (stovetop percolater) with chicory and I love it. I make my own combo -- really good coffee beans that I grind and then add in a ratio of about 1 part chicory to 3 parts ground coffee (though I put a bit more chicory in than that). I get roasted chicory granules (I think it's from Frontier co-op) that work really well.
Beignets reminded me very much of fastnachts, which are a treat on Fat Tuesday in parts of Pennsylvania. It would be interesting to see you compare the two.
The doap looks cool - will have to check that out. One of the best ways to clean glutenous dough or batter off bowls and tools is to soak for a few minutes in really cold water with or without dish soap. The cold water causes the gluten to harden a bit, and that makes it easier to clean off.
Cafe Du Monde is amazing. We went there multiple times while in New Orleans. If you do not leave Cafe Du Monde completely covered in powdered sugar then you're doing something wrong.
Emmy, I felt those last words! I think I have developed a wheat sensitivity and try to eat mostly gluten free but once in a while I decide to play the let's see if the food that usually hurts my stomach hurts my stomach today game lol! The beignets looked absolutely delicious! ❤
for dough stuck on your hands I normally just put more dry flour on my hands and scrub dry really aggressively. It works pretty well but doap sounds interesting.
That Doap is so cool! I’m curious if it would work well on dried on/dregs of scrambled egg in the pan? Thats another thing that always gets stuck in my dish brush
Thank you for pronouncing New Orleans correctly. You are one of the few. lol Yes I was born and raised in New Orleans. So happy you had a great experience! I hope you tried a Muffaletta.
These hit the spot, but not an exact dupe. Cafe Du Monde's are simultaneously airy and chewy, and while this recipe captured the puffy chewiness, the interior was denser.
As far as scrubbing help goes I like Chore Boy. It's an abrasive cloth that is great on pans, and dishes without damaging them. The Doap scrubber looks a little awkward. I like something that can easily get into all the crevices.
These look more like cafe beignet’s version which because of the eggs was almost like choux pastry (which I prefer). Drooling here. And will definitely look into Doap, as I do regular sourdough bread making and run into similar issues like you when cleaning up.
You would still need to use soap to get the dishes and your hands actually *clean*. Soap has specific chemicals that help attach to grease and *germs* and help them slide off your hands when rinsed. The silicone works to scrub visible particles off, but the germs are left behind.
If you don’t live near NOLA but have a PJ’s Coffee within driving distance, their beignets are actually delicious. I had to go gluten free so I can’t have them anymore but even my brother, who’s a self-proclaimed food critic loved them.
Good job, now try Calla. They predate beignets and made with leftover rice, sugar, eggs, flour, instant yeast and nutmeg. Then formed into balls and fried then dusted with powdered sugar.
@@FuriosasWarRigIt was another beignet place, not many left that competes with Cafe Dumond. They also serve food which the other doesn’t. Both are really good. Some prefer Morning Call though. To me both places are good. 😊
Please look up Oliebollen from here (the Netherlands) This looks just like them but here they are rond. We eat them at new years. I thinks you can call them sweet fritters? But fritters als not the same as our oliebollen We can trace them back to 1652 here in the Netherlands, from a painting
Always keep a spider in your kitchen. Otherwise your teenage children might decide to fry up some treats while you are at work and use your slotted spoon causing it to warp.
i had silicone brushes for dishwawhing and hated them all, gave them away and got back to normal sponge BUT to clean cheese (if you have baked cheese leftover) or dough (both same texture) it destroys the sponge, it destroys the hard brush, so this here looks amazing :O ALSO YOU MADE ME HUNGRY XD
Why do you not use oat or almond milk in your coffee in place of cow milk? The almost especially adds a wonderful nutty creaminess =) Thanks for sharing recipe
The beignets looked amazing Emmy! I've seen videos of them being made at Cafe du Monde. The amount of powdered sugar they put on is ridiculous - it goes all over - seems like such a waste to me.
Emmy, have you tried oat milk? It’s my favorite non-dairy milk and I love it! It’s good enough to drink straight and it’s delightful in recipes, coffee and tea. I’m both vegan and lactose intolerant so I’ve tried quite a few different kinds of nondairy milk. Planet Oat seems available most places. Just a thought!😊
