There's been a lot of love this quarantine season for fluffy pastries like banana bread, ube cheese pandesal, and milky cheese doughnuts. If you had a phase snacking on each of those treats, we're here to introduce you to your new obsession: Get ready to fall in love with beignets. Beignet (pronounced ben-yay) is the French term for deep-fried choux pastry. If you're unfamiliar, it's the same pastry base used in treats like eclairs and cream puffs. What you get is an airy, crunchy-on-the-edges treat that's sweet enough for dessert, but light enough for breakfast.
The most common variation of the pastry you'll see is the version popularized in New Orleans, Louisiana, which is served with powdered sugar atop the freshly fried dough. Think of beignets like doughnuts, but much lighter, fluffier, and easier to eat in big batches (note: you've been warned). Below, we round up some spots around the Metro where you can order the irresistible treat. Trust us, you'll be munching on these for weeks!
