Notes
If you have leftovers, store the beignets in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. They are best eaten right after frying. Reheating in a toaster oven can help regain crispiness. Experiment with different fillings such as almond paste or cinnamon sugar for variation. For savory beignets, consider using cheese, ham, or herbs.
