Beignets?

[hopesmommy]

I remember reading somewhere you can get beignets. However, I cannot find it again and I don't remember where to get them.

Please HELP!

The food court at the Port Orleans French Quarter has them, and they're delicious! Baked fresh on-site. A must-have for my mom every time she's there!

I posted it. They can be found at the Sassagoula Food and Floatworks Factoryy in the POFQ. They are delicious.

I would think somewhere at POFQ!!

Yep, they're at POFQ, and they're not to be missed. I had them for a bedtime snack every night of my stay there.

I noticed you're staying at POP. If you don't have a car, you can get to POFQ via boat from DTD--it's supposed to be a relaxing trip. And, I would think, a nice change from busses.

Mmmm. . . beignets. . . (uncontrollable drooling).

Unless there is a new (healthier) way of making beignets, they are not baked, but deep-fried. YUMMMMMMM, the calories! the cholesterol! I get hungry just thinking about them!

And just 2 mornings ago they were frying me a batch.

No, you're right, definitely fried and completely buried in powdered sugar. Probably just wishful thinking on my part because we ate so many of them, trying to lessen the guilt... (wouldn't stop me from eating more, though!)

Then I have you to thank for my ressie at POFQ. Thank You! Originally, I had a reservation at ASMO because this was a last minute trip because of the free dining. I had pledged to keep the total price way down. Then I read your post, pictured myself indulging on beignets and .....changed the resort. I told DH that DGD will be spending more time at the pool because the heat in August will be too much for her, and that is true, but it was really the beignets .

Maybe that is why we Love POFQ so much!!!!!

Some stores have Cafe du Monde beignet mix. I have a box at home. Maybe it is just in stores in the south but I did find the mix in of all places a grocery store in a small town in Texas!! We lived in Texas for 10 years and beignets were unheard of there. You can also order it online I am sure. They are really very easy to make.

 

[hopesmommy]

I have made them from the mix quite a few times, but they are soooo messy to cook. They are great fresh! Thanks to everyone! My DH said last night I have to put POFQ on the MUST MUST MUST do list. And then asked if they serve cafe ole coffee.

This is a big reason why I am choosing POFQ again

We love beignets too! The first time we had them was at DTD in California. There's a Ralph Brennans there. Now we have them on Sundays a couple times a month since I found the exact same mix at Cost Plus World Market. It's about $3 a box and makes alot of beignets. My DD6 loves to help roll them out and cut them. So of course, we get some unusual shapes-but they are still declicious! One way I found to reduce the mess is to fry them in a high sided pan. Cuts down on the splattering! Enjoy!

May have to get some at check-in, then!

AND THEY ARE LISTED AS A SNACK ON THE DDP!!!!!

What time does the beignet place in POFQ open in the mornings? DH and I MUST go there at least once during our trip. Probably on our last day there, when we're checking out.

 

[indigoxtreme]

It is part of the bakery and opens when everything else does for the counter service. They don't take long to fix, so maybe while others are getting ready you can run down and place an order and bring it back to the room for breakfast one morning. If you get there by 8 am or earlier you shouldn't have much of a wait. But I don't think they have the cafe o'le, but they do have french roast in the room. Not that nasty Nescafe

The bakery/beignet part of the food court opens at 6:00 am and closes at midnight! We LOVED them! They're great with coffee.

The three piece order is included in the snack plan, but the six piece isn't.
