[: en]Cuando se trata de disfrutar del mejores beignets Houston has to offer, there are only a handful of names that pop up in the ‘beignet’ search results. (Pronounced ‘ben-YAY’.) Some of them, however, aren’t even in the state of Texas. This can make a good Houston beignet seem very few and far between. All the same, Texans love beignets! Whether as a weekly breakfast tradition, midday snack, or late night treat, they make a great addition to our traditional ‘southern cooking’.

Plus, from okra to oreos, we love our fried foods. Don’t believe me, then believe this. The 2016 Texas State Fair Winner of the Big Tex Choice (Food) Awards was none other than…wait for it…gelatina frita.

¿Qué es un Beignet?

Lo primero es lo primero. Que es un beignet? 

Bueno, un beignet es un pastel francés frito hecho de pasta choux y con capas de azúcar de repostería. (Que es masa choux? ¡Me alegro de que lo hayas preguntado! Masa choux es un pastel ligero elaborado con huevo. It’s the kind of dough also used for éclaires, profiteroles, and crullers.) Generally speaking, beignets are similar to ‘fritters’. They are typically made from small squares of pastry deep fried in oil, then heavily dusted with confectioners sugar.

What’s the Big Deal About Beignets in Houston?

Los beignets tienen una historia larga y rica, que se remonta a la antigüedad. Galos y romanos. Here in America, however, they were popularized through the Cajun cuisine of French settlers in Louisiana. Nowadays, they are the most popular breakfast treat in New Orleans’ French Quarter, and most famously so at the Café du Monde. Este café de veinticuatro horas, inaugurado originalmente en 1862, ha aparecido repetidamente en canciones populares, libros e incluso ocasionalmente buzzfeed de celebridades.

Dicho esto, el gran problema de los buñuelos en Houston, sin embargo, es que Nueva Orleans y el Café du Monde están a 350 millas de distancia, al otro lado de la frontera estatal, en Louisiana. Eso hace que un buen beignet de Houston sea bastante difícil de encontrar.
