Beignets being made at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans, LA

After walking around the French Market and the Riverwalk in New Orleans, LA. I stopped to take this video, at the Cafe Du Monde in the mall, making fresh Beignets. They smelt so good! I was amazed with how much flour they pour on the dough to make them and also how long they fry them... They had the first batch held down in the fryer for about 3-5 min. For being such small pieces of dough you'd think they would have to be taken out right away.
This video was taken on June 23rd 2012. I took this video with my cell phone so its under a format that isn't compatible with my editing software. I was trying to get a shot of the finished product at the end of the video but the guy wouldn't move. :)
Beignets are a deep fried dough that is topped with powdered sugar and best eaten fresh and hot. The origin of Beignets came from France. They were brought to New Orleans in the 18th century. You can check out more about Cafe Du Monde at their website. cafedumonde.com/main.html

We just got back from New Orleans and Cafe Du Monde. I had a photo f my dad sitting there having coffee and beignets in October of 1945 where his ship tied up after the war. I ate 2 orders.... yummm.

I have to add this... the little lady loved them but has a bit of trouble pronouncing Beignets in the traditional French way. She wanted to know if we could get Bug Nuts in San Francisco. Coffee with chicory went through my nose.

I like his technique of the dough hitting the side of the fryer before diving into the grease- this knocks off excess flour. Good job

Standing in front of that hot greasy day in and day out has got him hating his job probably.

Nah, he's probably in the zone. Read about cook's in Las Vegas that did up to 1400 covers for Breakfast. Incredibly organized. Upscale chefs wanted to hire them- you can teach people dishes, but organization & speed is hard to come by. Culinary grads😂. They didn't want to change their jobs as they found the zone totally rewarding.

Thanks for your video. After making these at home, it's a treat to see the original makers. Interestingly, it's not completely automated.

They taste awesome with pure instant chicory. Quick to make, zero-coffee, and gives the warmth of New Orleans blend. The brand I landed on after trying a dozen of different ones is Ecologica freeze-dried instant chicory. It was only available in Russia, but now you can buy it at Amazon Prime: www.amazon.com/dp/B079M148TC and www.amazon.com/dp/B079M1VFDR.

The way he throws the dough into the fryer is so dangerous. The hot oil can splatter and burn him. He is lucky but that is not safe.

Can believe people line up for this, for what was originally just called a "donut". They only changed the name to make them all French and sophisticated sounding. Great marketing ploy.

@emi_milk 5 жыл бұрын

No. It's definitely different from a donut. Beignets are a little harder than Donuts. Donuts are soft and fluffy but beignets arent.

Celeste Garcia he’s touching the dough before it goes in the fryer. Any germs will be killed from the high temp anyway.

Most food you eat from restaurants will be handled bare handed. Gloves probably end up more dirty because people are less likely to wash them and feel all the dirt, but people using their bare hands wash them all the time because they feel gross.
