There are several kinds of beignets, though, depending on the part of the world you&#8217;re in.<\/p>\n<p>Houston Beignets &#8211; The ones you see here in the city of Houston are the French-style deep-fried choux pastry, covered in sugar. In Canada, the word &#8220;beignet&#8221; is also used to refer to donuts of any type, and can also be spelled &#8220;beigne.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>French-Style &#8211; Though typically filled with fruit or jam, they can also be filled with meat, cheese, potatoes, or seafood.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whatscookingamerica.net\/History\/BeignetsHistory.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Boules de Berlin<\/a> &#8211; Yeast pastry is another way to make beignets. These are typically sphere-shaped and filled with fruit or jam.<\/p>\n<p>Corsica Fritelli &#8211; In Corsica, these donuts are made with chestnut flour and referred to as <em>Beignets de farine de\u00a0<\/em><i>ch\u00e2taigne.<\/i><\/p>\n<h3>The Best Beignets Houston Has to Offer: Where They Came From<\/h3>\n<p>Early French settlers brought beignets overseas with them when they migrated to Acadia on the eastern Canadian coast in the 17th century. The dessert&#8217;s French influences reached the region of New Orleans in the 18th century.<\/p>\n<p>According to New Orleans newspaper <em>The Picayune<\/em>, published in 1902:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The ancient French colonists brought the custom of serving sweet entrements and eatres, such as Beignets, Compotes, Souffles, Gelees, etc., from the old mother country to Louisiana. \u00a0The Creoles applied these to the various delightful and refreshing fruits, which abound in Louisiana . . . The custom of serving these sweet entrements spread from New Orleans to other portions of the United States, &#8217;til now no fastidious chef would think of keeping a fashionable hotel or restaurant without including some of these in the daily bill of fare.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Famous Cafe du Monde<\/h3>\n<p>Cafe du Monde opened in 1862 in the New Orleans French Market. Their cafe au lait and beignets quickly became famous, and lines to purchase these treats grew longer and longer over the years. This NOLA landmark is still open 24\/7 and serves beignets in sets of three.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><em><strong>In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nola.com\/dining\/index.ssf\/2016\/10\/a_short_history_of_the_beignet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1928<\/a>, a tourist bribed Cafe du Monde&#8217;s Louis Gillette $250 for their famous beignets recipe, but he refused to tell the secret.<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Check out the video from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cafedumonde.com\/you-tube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">their website<\/a> below:<\/p>\n<p>[youtube embed=&#8221;RrH213yE1h4&#8243; autoplay=&#8221;0&#8243; mute=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Get the Best Beignets in Houston at Shipley Do-Nuts!<\/h2>\n<p>Eager for more history lessons? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myshipleydonuts.com\/about-us\/shipley-history\">Click here<\/a> to learn about the history of Shipley Do-Nuts.
