We only went to Cafe' Du Monde once a long time ago, I remembered liking the Beinegets. I tried the mix about a year ago and they were ok, but I used this recipe this morning, oh my, they were good. Thank you for posting this.
That’s awesome, and yeah I’ve heard that about the mix that they’re just OK. I wanted to give you the biggest fluffiest pillow beignets on the Internet. Thanks for watching my friend.
Here’s the standard metric measurements for anyone that needs them: 237 water 7g yeast 50g sugar 158g milk 1egg + yolk 14g butter 552g flour Edit: i did have to add a bit of flour extra but other than that they alway come out fine!
These were excellent! I’m from Louisiana, born and raised. Thank you so much for this recipe. There is something so satisfying about making something and it turn out just like the restaurants. I can now make beignets just like Café Du Monde.
haha, sorry I know I can get a little crazy with the video. My background is in video production as well and I can go overboard sometimes. I just want food to be beautiful is all.
I remeber hearing,"Beignets" in the princess and frog and always wanting to eat them but have never knew they were real..(silly..I know) I am so gonna ask my mom to help me make these! Cant wait!!
I have a tip! I made them and I did a test: some I waited to golden on one side and then turned. With others I kept turning, didnt wait for it to golden completely. The ones I turned once turned out to be higher (more beautiful cause they look fluffy) but they were hollow. The other ones came out perfect, super fluffy. So I recommend doing that (:
NOLA native here... I see a lot of comments comparing these to Cafe Du Monde. I'm sure this recipe is AMAZING as everyone is mentioning but *Cafe Du Monde is not the only, nor the best, beignet place in NOLA.* 🗣🗣🗣🗣 They're more dense and doughy. Morning Call, Cafe Beignet, Loretta's, Antoine's Famous Cakes (AMAZING glazed beignets instead of powdered sugar) New Orleans Coffee & Beignet Co and countless other places who have more of a hollow, light and airy beignets. CDM is good, just making you all aware that there are other places, that aren't famously known, that you might find even better. 🤷🏾♀️ This recipe looks incredible, btw. 👍🏾👌🏾🙌🏾
I made these today and they turned out great! I used 520g of AP flour and it was a little wet. Bob’s Red Mill says their AP flour is 136g/cup so I should have started with something closer to 590g instead. I was able to fold more flour in and it worked out. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Made these yesterday. Scrumptious! We have eaten them at Cafe Du Monde. Wish We were there now. New Orleans is fantastic! Unless you have a big family at home you may want to half the recipe. It makes a ton. Usually my grandson wanders in to help fry but we have to distance right now. I miss my family but we must stay safe until danger is over. Thanks for great recipe. I will subscribe.
I am French and Italian - I grew up on French Beignet living in France and this is an awesome recipe. I made them last weekend and they were the best :) This is the best recipe ever!!!
Finally!!! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! I've seen many other people here on RUclips that have tried to recreate beignets from scratch and never come close! I'm from the New Orleans area, have lived here all 40 years of my life and have been to Cafe du Monde more times than I can count. Thank you for pronouncing the name of the city correctly and thank you for staying authentic to the way beignets are truly made!
I remember Cafe du Monde from once-upon-a-time, a long time ago. There was nothing better than beignets and chicory coffee overlooking the Mississippi...
My kids requested beignets. I've only used a boxed mix and was dreading the sticky mess. I'll never go back to that box again! This recipe from scratch was so satisfying to make and eat. I felt accomplished in my efforts. Kids were happy. Mom was happy. Thank you!!!
I learned how to make beignets when i was like 10. In East Africa beignet are like the staple food and we learned how to cook and bake at a very young age. I've grown so used to it that I never measure anything not that I was ever taught to measure them in the first place lol. I just add ingredients until it feels right (as we do with all our cooking lol). So, I always find it so interesting when people are this precise with their recipes and measurements. Also, beignet are the best with a nice up of hot chai or tea (better if it African or Indian chai). You just dip it in there and it soaks up all hat chai goodness. amaizing.
OMG, just made these - INCREDIBLE! I was short on my regular all-purpose flour, so used 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1-1/3 cups bread flour. Perfection! Thank you, Chef!
Hi Chef Bill, my wife is an ardent beignet fan, so when I presented her with a plate full of beignets I made using your recipe, she ended her social (marital) distancing. Thanks so much for an awesome, easy recipe!
This recipe produces fluffy, crispy, authentic beignets. Delicious results and a simple recipe- I’ve tried several other methods and this one is by far the best!
@@kalsoom6923 Fahrenheit my friend. If it was in celcius, you would have seen boiling water. P.S - water can only boil to 100 degrees celcius unless superheated
I made these yesterday. It was very easy and soooo good. By 6pm there was nothing left. Pity I can't paste the pic I took. I'm definitely keeping this recipe. Thank you Chef Parisi.
Just tried it today but I substituted AP flour with bread flour and whole milk with evap milk and it turned out to be so good and chewy, this really is the best recipe for beignet, thank you so much for this
Oh my !!! Let me tell you, I've made these a few times. They are now a family favorite. Great recipe!! Follow each step and they come out soooo amazing! You can not eat just one or two or three lol so soft and so yummy 😋
During this craziness, I've decided to UP my baking and cooking game. I've started watching random cooking videos and when I see a recipe I have all the ingredients for, I add it to the list to try. I may as well use this time for something good. You can never really learn *too much*, anyway. Thank you for this recipe! We will definitely be trying this! Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
I love that you always try to give the history of food , we have them in Kenya , East Africa , that's one way of making them , you can also use baking powder n omit the yeast or can use both or .....anyway there are many ways of making them , we call them mandazi, or mahamri .
Lovely. We have a similar snack from the northern part of Nigeria known as "chin chin". They contain the same ingredients except the yeast, commonly baking powder is used. Amazingly they ate also cubes, but smaller bite size ones. Popular party snacks. Small world
I just made these. 10/10 recommend. I didn’t have a stand mixer so I just use like the whisks that you put in the electric things, and it worked okay. I like how these are super customizable. My parents don’t like it sweet so they don’t add any powdered sugar whereas my siblings can add a lot (when my parents aren’t looking 😂).
I made these today and my family loved them!! Although they ruined the traditional powder sugar coating serving and turned them into Mexican churros, coated them with cinnamon sugar instead and filled them up with Mexican homemade cajeta (caramel) SUPER DELICIOUS!
We've made this recipe about 6 times now. After experimentation, we've found that 650 grams of flour works well. Also this recipe makes a huge amount! I think this would be enough for 6-8 adults.
Made these the other day and they were the bomb dot com!!! The dough made so many. I had cooked the whole thing. Gave some away and stored the rest in a plastic container in the fridge. Had 2 a day for like a week and a half lol. Heated them up in the oven at 350°. Was so surprised that they never tasted a day old. Great recipe!!!🤗
I made these a few days ago and they were so good. I had to alter the recipe and cook time. Since I used all purpose flour I had to double the flour-7-8 cups before the dough reached the good consistency where it was pulling from the bowl. And since I added more flour I added about 1/3 cup more sugar to the mix. The rise time took longer when I did this. I think it took 4-5 hours to fully rise (honestly I thought I messed up at that point-but it did finally rise when I quit checking on it lol). I put the dough in the fridge after and fried them the next day. It took about 30 seconds on each side to cook. I was so scared they were going to turn out horrible since I had to deviate from this recipe but they were AMAZING. So if anyone is wondering if all purpose flour is ok-its is but you will have to add twice as much or you will get a cake batter consistency.
I’m making these for my family for Easter. No family coming over for dinner because of Covid-19 so a lot less cooking today. This is the second time I made them, I love them.
@@ChefBillyParisi they turned out awesome. My family used to go,to,the circus and get “elephant ears” fried bread with cinnamon and sugar. So I roll these in cinnamon and sugar. Memories! I showed this video to my coworkers too. So easy to make and you present it in a fun way that is easy to understand. Not only what to do, or how to do it, but also why.
Delicious 🤤 I made these beignets and they came out super fluffy and tasty all my boys ( including my husband) loved them. Thanks for your wonderful recipe.
I grew up living in NOLA, about one block from Cafe Du Monde we could smell the Beignets from home. So my brothers & I would run almost every day to get fresh smelling Beignets. "The Best"
I just made these. OMG! They were just as good as the ones I had in New Orleans. The hardest part was waiting for the dough to rise. I was so impatient but they turned out perfect! Thank you!
My daughter has begged to make these because of Princess and the Frog, and I just recently came across your video. Thank you for making it easy and fun for us! She loved it.
I grew up eating Café du Monde beignets and now that I live far from my beloved Nawlins, I have to learn to make these. It’s Fat Tuesday this week so think I’ll give it a try. Thanks!
I have never made beignets before and I always have wanted to. I live in indiana and have never eaten a beignet from New Orleans. Here in indiana they are fried rolls. Well I did it and taste better with cinnamon sugar. Yum thank you You made me challenge myself
I just made these Beignets, they are so delicious. My daughter forwarded your recipe and it wasn’t hard at all and most of all it was super yummy! . Thanks Chef Parisi!
Thanks to covid-19, it has sparked an interest for baking in me. I'm trying to expand the list of things I know how to make when I came across your video. Thank you so much for this recipe, I had a lot of fun making it for my family and friends! To you who is reading this, pls take care, stay safe and stay sane! We will get thru this u guys
I used this for a family activity. My kids were wondering what beignets were after watching The Frog Princess. This recipe was perfect and fun.we loved them.
Thank you..thank you...thank you... I've made this today. My whole family loves it. Soft and not too sweet. I added another 1/2 cup of flour, maybe because of Malaysia hot & humid weather.
Omg. This is the first time I’ve actually checked the recipe and I just realised how similar they are to our Romanian ‘Gigosi’ recipe. I am soooo making these today. Thank you 🙏
i made these today. they were absolutely delicious. I would just recommend that if your dough is kind of sticky out more flour. takes just like cafe du monde’s beignets
I went through Louisiana during a road trip and stopped right outside New Orleans to get beignets and they taste SOOO GOOD ty princess n the frog for introducing me to them 💗
Homemade is always better for sure. If you don't have time and you have family visiting or something you can also just use canned Pillsbury biscuits as well just cut them in half and deep fry them. So good lol I made some last night. I'll make some homemade soon with some café aulait for sure though.
SSG Squidward - Have you ever been to New Orleans? Because if you haven’t I invite you to come after quarantine has been lifted and see for yourself that it’s definitely not what you have been lead to believe.
I've been to the French Quarter Cafe du Monde in New Orleans many times. The beignets and cafe au lait are amazing! I definitely plan to try this recipe.
I am from Malaysia. Been to Cafe du Monde maybe 5 or 6 times when I was studying at LSU in Baton Rouge for 4 years. Those days we Malaysians were the largest group of foreign students at LSU, over 1500 of us from Malaysia. Me and Malaysian friends frequently visited New Orleans, especially during Mardi Gras festival, and would try not to miss visiting Cafe du Monde for its world-famous beignets and cafe au lait.
@@ChefBillyParisi Definitely! I follow LSU football here from Malaysia. Sure, I am happy that LSU beats Oklahoma, hope they go on to beat Clemson on Jan 1!
Last time I went to cafe du monde I brought a packet of there beignet mix. So light and delicious and didn’t even watch this video! Mum was sooooo impressed she brought me a scratch and win.
Woah! I love the combo of great, technical cooking and cinematography. Am I watching an art film? A cooking show? WHO KNOWS BUT I LOVE IT! So relaxing! ETA: this is my first time here. I'm so excited to binge the rest of the content 👏
Made these this morning, turned out good. Wit just 3 of us here I cut the dough ball in half and froze one. I will try in the next couple of weeks to thaw and cook them.
i cooked this after watching this video and they were amazing! I found that if i followed the time he suggested they turned out as brown as the ones in the video. If oil is really hot, I fried for almost 1 minute on each side for golden brown
sometimes to check the heat i’ll get a bit of the scraps and plop it in, cook completely and adjust the heat from that!! this recipe is amazing i’ve done it before and i’m doing again today!!!
Good job baby!!! Your recipe is spot on the butter makes the difference ya heard me..⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜ I make these all the time.. Cottonseed oil can be purchased on Amazon too! The mix is for tourist who dont know better...
I love cafe du monde beignets. We live about 40 minutes from New Orleans and they my favorite. We will be trying these to see if they just as good.. thanks 😊
Absolutely THANK YOU for including the ingredients and measurements in your description! I guess Louisiana has their baguettes and NYC has zeppole. It really is six of one, half dozen of the other. Thanks for a great recipe👍
I left fry stuff out of my Corono cooking book cause it will waste too much oil. I plan in a weeks to make xmas cookies and use the roundish cutters to make them corona shaped.
@@jonmacdonald5345 I got Skunks in my back yard but I be Damned if I go and try and collect eggs from them LoL J/K there is a skunk tho in the back yard
I made these this week and they are so yummy! None were left by the end of the day ! Thanks so much for the recipe and awesome easy to follow instructions!!

Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Yes I was worried I don't have the candy thermometer 😅
@@ChefBillyParisi everybody just fries up canned biscuits.
I first saw these on "princess and the frog" and now I very much want to try them. They seem similar to NM sopapillas.
Great movie, I have kids! Not far off from a sopapilla, replace the powdered sugar with honey.
Best line of the movie: “Gimme some of those man-catching beignets” 😂
@@jamiefromtexas1380 😂😂😂
If you ever find yourself at a restaurant that serves them, I urge you to try. They are truly special.

That is all the recommendation I need!
I hear using heavy cream and lard with the box mix improves the beinegets.. maybe adding something extra so they puff up more would help too
Here’s the standard metric measurements for anyone that needs them:
237 water
7g yeast
50g sugar
158g milk
1egg + yolk
14g butter
552g flour
Edit: i did have to add a bit of flour extra but other than that they alway come out fine!
tysm!
Thank you very much !!!!!!
Did you make the beignets with these listed metric measurements? How did it turn out?
Thank you so much sir
i coverting one by one. and just read this coment. lol..
I've never felt such a sense of accomplishment as I did once I finished making these bad boys.
I've peaked. It's all downhill from here.

These were excellent! I’m from Louisiana, born and raised. Thank you so much for this recipe. There is something so satisfying about making something and it turn out just like the restaurants. I can now make beignets just like Café Du Monde.
I’m so glad you showed how to put the salt in with slo motion. It can be so tricky

I was so scared they were going to turn out horrible since I had to deviate from this recipe but they were AMAZING. So if anyone is wondering if all purpose flour is ok-its is but you will have to add twice as much or you will get a cake batter consistency.
You def should not need to do that, you would just need to back off the liquid. Glad it turned out ok.
So what is the dough or flour to use to make it real good?
He also used A.P. Flour just a certain brand.

Thank you so much for this recipe, I had a lot of fun making it for my family and friends! To you who is reading this, pls take care, stay safe and stay sane! We will get thru this u guys
I just appreciate so much that you make alternatives if you don't have the right tools. Thanks so much for this recipe! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Literally made these just now and OMG your recipe was PERFECT! So soft and pillowy! Thank you!!
Awesome
I used this for a family activity. My kids were wondering what beignets were after watching The Frog Princess. This recipe was perfect and fun.we loved them.
Thank you..thank you...thank you... I've made this today. My whole family loves it. Soft and not too sweet. I added another 1/2 cup of flour, maybe because of Malaysia hot & humid weather.
Absolutely could be. Going to have slight variations depending on where you live.
Thank you bro. Just tried your method. But instead of the mixer, I kneaded it. It works like magic. My kid loved it.
You can do that too. Thanks for giving it a shot
These are delicious! Great recipe. We tried them with the powdered sugar and they were good, but with a simple glaze on them they were fantastic!
Yum!!
Omg. This is the first time I’ve actually checked the recipe and I just realised how similar they are to our Romanian ‘Gigosi’ recipe. I am soooo making these today. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching!
i made these today. they were absolutely delicious. I would just recommend that if your dough is kind of sticky out more flour. takes just like cafe du monde’s beignets
So great they worked out!
I went through Louisiana during a road trip and stopped right outside New Orleans to get beignets and they taste SOOO GOOD ty princess n the frog for introducing me to them 💗
So good!!
This vidio is very underrated...yet it is best ive seen by far. 5 ***** no questions asked.
Thanks for the love, appreciate it!
Homemade is always better for sure. If you don't have time and you have family visiting or something you can also just use canned Pillsbury biscuits as well just cut them in half and deep fry them. So good lol I made some last night. I'll make some homemade soon with some café aulait for sure though.
I just went to Cafe Du Monde for the first time during Mardi Gras of this year (2020). The beignets and the chickory coffee were so good
Jealous!
Eberjo M Stay out of New Orleans it is full of the Devil and Voodoo
SSG Squidward - Have you ever been to New Orleans? Because if you haven’t I invite you to come after quarantine has been lifted and see for yourself that it’s definitely not what you have been lead to believe.
Eberjo M. U may need to check yourself. That is about the time covid-19 invaded NOLA. U could b a carrier and not know it.
Love chef Billy Parisi! Clear, simple, knowledgeable and fun 🤩
THIS IS THE BEST RECIPE!!! Thank you so much for making this so easy. I nailed it on my first try!
Nice!
I’m gonna make this, they look delicious
I made these today and they turned out really good! Going to make them again once I get a stand mixer lol.
Awesome!
I've been to the French Quarter Cafe du Monde in New Orleans many times. The beignets and cafe au lait are amazing! I definitely plan to try this recipe.
So good!!
just landed on this video. He has a very calming voice. I'm sticking around for more. definitely subscribing.
Thanks!
I am from Malaysia. Been to Cafe du Monde maybe 5 or 6 times when I was studying at LSU in Baton Rouge for 4 years. Those days we Malaysians were the largest group of foreign students at LSU, over 1500 of us from Malaysia. Me and Malaysian friends frequently visited New Orleans, especially during Mardi Gras festival, and would try not to miss visiting Cafe du Monde for its world-famous beignets and cafe au lait.
Then you’re happy about who won yesterday as well?!
@@ChefBillyParisi Definitely! I follow LSU football here from Malaysia. Sure, I am happy that LSU beats Oklahoma, hope they go on to beat Clemson on Jan 1!
@@Mustafa-Kamal-Satar Me too!!
I made these today and it turned out so fluffy and perfect. Ty😊
Awesome
Was the dough really sticky when you removed it from the stand mixer? That’s what happens to me...
Decided to check this out because I found out that beignets are very simillar to bueñeulos, can’t wait to make these and to a taste comparison
hands down to you, chef!! love the way you explained each and every step, you made this recipe pretty doable!!
Awesome
Last time I went to cafe du monde I brought a packet of there beignet mix. So light and delicious and didn’t even watch this video! Mum was sooooo impressed she brought me a scratch and win.
Woah! I love the combo of great, technical cooking and cinematography. Am I watching an art film? A cooking show? WHO KNOWS BUT I LOVE IT! So relaxing!
ETA: this is my first time here. I'm so excited to binge the rest of the content 👏
Hey thanks for watching, appreciate it!
Me too!! Sometimes the algorithm gets it right!!
Made these this morning, turned out good. Wit just 3 of us here I cut the dough ball in half and froze one. I will try in the next couple of weeks to thaw and cook them.
I just made these!! Truly amazing and I’m the recipe makes a lot!
Good vid! Just made these from the box, helped to see someone else do it first. Thanks!
i cooked this after watching this video and they were amazing! I found that if i followed the time he suggested they turned out as brown as the ones in the video. If oil is really hot, I fried for almost 1 minute on each side for golden brown
Thanks for giving them a shot
Cool thanks a lot
I made these twice already. They are AMAZING!!
Awesome
Just made some with freshly ground white whole wheat flour. Great recipe! Thank you!!
Yum!
Absolutely love beignets! Husband's side of the family is French! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Its maandazi from Tanzania. I make it everyday for my children.
sometimes to check the heat i’ll get a bit of the scraps and plop it in, cook completely and adjust the heat from that!! this recipe is amazing i’ve done it before and i’m doing again today!!!
That’ll work too!

Chef Billy Parisi how much water did you start off with????
I love cafe du monde beignets. We live about 40 minutes from New Orleans and they my favorite. We will be trying these to see if they just as good.. thanks 😊
Absolutely THANK YOU for including the ingredients and measurements in your description!
I guess Louisiana has their baguettes and NYC has zeppole. It really is six of one, half dozen of the other.
