Eeasy recipe and delicious!

Best value this side of New Orleans! Tastes Great! Amazing value

Hi Are these the most astounding, nothing can possibly be better approach? No, of course not. This is a quick mix that does not involve "fun" like 16 hours in the fridge ahead of making breakfast. Does it make yummy beignets? Yup, it sure does. Nothing terribly complicated about it. Read the directions, check a few things on the web. Whip up a batch in the electric fry pan. How we did it: Peanut oil is what we have sitting around fresh, so that was the oil of choice. The flour on these gets into the oil. You will get one pass out of the oil. Doing them in a big fryer will use up a lot of oil.Yes there are filtering setups, getting flour out isn't really what they do well (at least not the ones I've seen). We ran the pan up to 370 and kept it above 350 the whole time. On the next batch we probably will run it a bit hotter. They all came out fluffy and fairly light. The ones done in the hotter oil were a bit lighter. Mixing up the dough was about what I expected from the information on the web. It's a very wet and sticky dough. We did not use the rolling pin, we just did it by hand. At a thickness of 1/8 of an inch, we got about the right number of 2" squares. Put another way, yes you can get nearly 48 out of a box of mix. These are not as big as a Dunkin Doughnut. You do need fine grain sugar. We used confectioners sugar. It worked fine. Just about any grade of powdered sugar should do the same thing. Granulated sugar isn't going to stick to the surface. These cook pretty fast. Cook one, let it cool, and try it. If it's not fluffy enough - see if hotter oil will help. If that's not the answer, you may not have enough water in the dough. That's when you suddenly go - why didn't I mix up 1/4 of the box first? Since there is no real rise process, mixing up small(er) batches is not that hard ... What ever is left over from the box needs to be refrigerated. I suspect that's as much to take care of any bugs that might have crawled in after the box was opened as anything else. This is *not* something I'd plan on eating every day. They are just to yummy. I'd put on a hundred pounds in a month ...The box will get stored here long enough that refrigeration is a worthwhile idea. If you plan to run through the entire box in two days, not so big a deal. Both boxes we got (in November) have expiration dates out in July of next year. I doubt they will hang around that long ... Did I mention yummy :) Bob

Great donut mix.

Makes good beignets, though you pay $$$ for the convenience. Most recipes do not teach the details of the flour(s) to be used for best results, and I believe this to be a good balance of protein, gluten, and starch in their flour. AP, Bread, Cake, low and high gluten, etc. To get a result that is crisp, soft, pillowy, toothsome, and stretchy at the same time.

I’m from Louisiana, where beignets are almost a household staple. The café du monde brand is superb. Sunday mornings at café Du monde on Decatur Ave Were always a special occasion. beignets have always been a family tradition and this mix makes it easy and delicious and it’s something I do not allow my house to run out of. highly recommend this brand I would also recommend their chicory coffee

Delicious! these were so good, we loved them the same as when we were their

My sister fell in love with Beignets when we went to NOLA so I thot this would be a good gift for her!

Laut Artikeleschreibung "Cafe Du Monde Beignet Mix 28oz - 4 Unit Pack by Cafe Du Monde" sollten es 4 Packungen sein. Auch im Artikelgewicht werden 3175.10 gramm angeführt, was genau den 793,8 g pro Packung entspricht. Geliefert wurde heute jedoch nur EINE Packung. Das ist Kundenverarschung vom Feinsten... :(

Great item, great seller

J'ai acheter un lot de 4 unités pour un poids de plus de 3kg et je n'ai reçu qu'une seule unité de 792gr. cela fait cher le kilo !! J'attends de voir si la suite va arriver ...

Product is good but came in a 2 pack and code date was not long at all. Both boxes had grease stains.

the best beignet mix on the market, I PROMISE! as someone who was born and grew up in new orleans, my family and i frequented Cafe Du Monde, and this mix gets close!!! the box says use water, but they told me straight up the secret is to use milk instead 😉 enjoy!
