Cafe' Du Monde Style " Beignet Lollypops"

“In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport.”
- Julia Child

I have heard Cafe' Du Monde's Beignets are the best in New Orleans! But, what a pity! I didn't have time to go Cafe Du Monte in Jackson Square, when I went to New Orleans. We were pretty much hanging out in Bourbon street (seeing all the flashing fiasco) during 2008 new years eve. Anyways, did get the recipe from food channel magazine. Enjoy them with your coffee or tea.
