oh shit - I was hoping they did not have sugar in them ( I dont'know what they are, only that they are specific to NOLA) - Epiphany Apr 14, 10:28 21
- they're like mini doughnuts -- nm - peglegpete Apr 14, 10:33 10
  - They *are* mini doughnuts. Translate "doughnut" to French... -- nm - Shaun Apr 14, 10:41 9
    - but they're neither mini, nor doughnut shaped. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:43 7
      - donuts come in more than one shape. - b. Apr 14, 10:50 3
        
        oh, I know. NOLA donuts are a special case, though. The Cafe du Monde ones (which are by far the most famous) are brick shaped. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:51 2
        
        "not doughnut shaped" -- nm - b. Apr 14, 11:16 1
        
        glad we got to the bottom of that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 11:23
      - IDGAF what shape they are. "Doughnut" is French is "beignet." Correct? -- nm - Shaun Apr 14, 10:47 1
        
        beigne or beignet, yes. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:48
      - (at least, the NOLA variety) -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:43
    - compositionally, lighter and fluffier on the inside -- nm - moles Apr 14, 10:42
- technically, you could not sprinkle sugar on them. (what's the point, but you could.) -- nm - TFox Apr 14, 10:28 9
  - is there no sugar in them? but yeah, they sort of should be buried in a mountain of powdered sugar. - loosilu Apr 14, 10:29 8
    - Yes, there's sugar in the dough. -- nm - mara Apr 14, 10:34
    - it's just fried dough, right? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 14, 10:30 4
      - yes -- nm - moles Apr 14, 10:34 1
        
        I thought everywhere had this.(soon: fair season (!!)) -- nm - amanda jones Apr 14, 10:36
      - I'm not a beignetologist either. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:33 1
        
        It would be an awesome job, though -- nm - con_carne Apr 14, 10:34
    - effed if i know. i'm not a beignetologist. -- nm - TFox Apr 14, 10:30 1
      - I think the dough is a little sweet ... but then again it's hard to say, what with the powder. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:30
