Welcome to the world of beignets, a delightful culinary tradition that hails from France and has found a unique home in Louisiana. Our Café du Monde Beignet Mix brings this tradition straight to your kitchen. Beignets, often described as French doughnuts, are puffy, square treats generously dusted with powdered sugar. But are beignets just like doughnuts? While they share similarities, beignets have a distinct lightness and a unique flavor profile that sets them apart.
Beignets were brought to Louisiana by the Acadians, and they have since become a staple of New Orleans cuisine. These fried fritters were traditionally filled with fruit, but today, they are typically enjoyed plain, allowing the simple flavors of the dough and powdered sugar to shine. But are beignets French or Louisiana? While they originated in France, beignets have been embraced and adapted by Louisiana culture, making them a unique blend of both French and Louisiana culinary traditions.
Our Café du Monde Beignet Mix makes it easy to create up to four dozen beignets right in your own kitchen. All you need to do is mix the contents with water, roll out the dough, cut it into squares, and fry until puffy and golden. Don't forget to sprinkle generously with powdered sugar! You can also experiment by filling your beignets with fruit, chocolate, or other delicious fillings.
Wondering how to keep your beignets fresh? After frying, you can keep them warm in a 200° oven for up to 30 minutes. If you want to make them ahead, simply store the dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Beignets can also be reheated in a 325°F oven until hot, making them a convenient treat to prepare in advance.
You might be wondering, why are beignets served in threes? This tradition varies from place to place, but many believe it's simply because three is the perfect number for a satisfying treat!

All authentic Louisiana meats and specialties from CajunFood.com are prepared according to generational bayou recipes. Here are our smokehouse pitmaster guidelines for best flavor:
Submerge links in barely simmering water (do not boil hard or casings will burst) for 10–12 minutes until heated through (internal temp 160°F).
Preheat to 375°F. Lightly brush casings with butter or oil. Cook for 10–14 minutes, turning halfway through until the skin is delightfully crispy.
Place over indirect, medium-low heat on pecan or hickory coals. Turn frequently for 8–10 minutes until casings are taut and lightly charred.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Transfer to a heavy Dutch oven or saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until hot and bubbling.

Living in Colorado, finding real Louisiana boudin and smoked meats is impossible. CajunFood shipped this packed hard in dry ice. Steamed it in a pot for 12 minutes and the rice/pork balance and cayenne spice level were perfection.
Was skeptical about ordering frozen food in the summer heat, but the cooler had plenty of dry ice remaining. Air fried at 375°F for 12 mins and had the crispiest, juiciest sausage links ever.
My family is from St. Martinville. This is the real deal—no fillers, authentic seasonings, and great smoke flavor. CajunFood is my go-to online store now.
