There was a thread on here this fall that had someone looking for this recipe. I understand the search engine isn't working though. I cheat and buy the Cafe du Monde mix at the grocery store.

These are my all time favorite breakfast pastries! Nothing like going to the French Quarter for the real thing!

OH my gosh! I am getting my eyes checked! I thought this said recipes for bigots.
Maybe because of the thread I was just reading on the CB......

Dont have the Port Orleans recipe but here's one from Emeril Also.......if you don't care to make your own...you might want to try the beignet mix from Cafe Du Monde...they're pretty much the standard in New Orleans
Beignets
Recipe Courtesy of Emeril Lagasse

1 package active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 1/4 cups warm milk (110 degrees)
1 egg, beaten
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Oil for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting

Preheat the fryer to 360 degrees F. In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with a dough hook, add the yeast, sugar, shortening, and milk, mix for 2 minutes. Add the egg. Mix well. Add 4 cups of the flour and salt. Beat at low speed until all of the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute. Then beat at medium speed until the mixture forms a ball, leaves the sides of the bowl, and climbs up the dough hook. Remove the dough from the bowl. Using your hands, form the dough into a smooth ball. Lightly oil a bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to oil all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 2 hours. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Lightly dust the surface of the dough. Roll out the rectangle to 12 1/2 inches long by 10 inches wide and about 1/4-inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into twenty 2 1/2-inch square beignets. Fry the beignets, a couple at a time until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towels. Sprinkle the beignets with powdered sugar and serve
