Princess Tiana’s Beignets Recipe
I’ve made these many many times before! They are sooo good!
Ingredients:
1/2 tsp dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbs vegetable shortening
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 egg
4 cups flour
1/2 cup boiling water
Vegetable oil for frying
Powdered sugar
Honey (opt. But Tiana uses it 😊)
Directions:
In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the water and stir until dissolved.
Add sugar, shortening, salt, heavy cream, egg, flour, yeast mix and boiling water to a large bowl. Mix until dough forms.
Cover dough and let it rest for about 30 mins
Roll out dough until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Then cut into square are let the dough rise in a warm area for 2 hours
Heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees (in some sort of deep pot/pan) and fry the beignets for 2-3 mins until golden brown. Make sure to flip them to cook evenly.
Drizzle with honey (if you want) and sprinkle powdered sugar
I have another recipe that doesn’t call for yeast so let me know if you’d like that one instead!

Princess Tiana's beignets are a delightful treat inspired by Disney's 'The Princess and the Frog'. These yummy pastries, famous in New Orleans, are typically served warm and dusted with powdered sugar. Many people enjoy them dipped in honey or alongside café au lait, making them perfect for any gathering or intimate family breakfast. Variations of beignets can include fillings like chocolate or fruit preserves, catering to different tastes. As these sweet treats are often linked to celebrations and festive occasions, they can also be shaped into fun forms for themed parties or events. When it comes to frying, it's essential to monitor the oil temperature carefully to ensure the beignets fry evenly and achieve that golden-brown color without burning. If you're passionate about experimenting in the kitchen, consider pairing your beignets with various toppings such as cinnamon sugar, or even a drizzle of caramel for a gourmet twist. Whether you're a baking novice or an experienced chef, Princess Tiana's beignets can be a fun and rewarding recipe to try!
