Speechless Sunday. Beignets at Powdered Sugar in New Orleans

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Centre Realtors

We went to New Orleans in December. Whenever I go on vacation I like to try the local favorite food items. I had heard that Beignets are the local specialty.

Beignets are fried donuts and are square in shape. They do not have a hole in the middle. I read that in 1986 beigents wre named the official state doughnut of Louisiana.

It is served with powdered sugar. It is a favorite breakfast item.

We stayed at Hyat centric at French Quarter. They have a restaurant named Powdered Sugar . I loved their beignets. I had them a few times. I would love to go again just for the beignets. Here is a picture .

My oldest loves the Beignets at Disneyland. I bet they're even better in New Orleans. Looks tasty!

Gita Bantwal Agree, beignets are 'must-eat' food delight in New Orleans.  Now I want to visit NO again.
