BEIGNET
Beignet
Beignet, synonymous with the English "fritter", is the French term for a pastry made from deep-fried choux paste. Beignets are commonly known in the U.S. as a dessert served with powdered sugar on top; however, they may be savory dishes as well and may contain meat, vegetables, or fruits. They are traditionally prepared right before consumption to be eaten fresh and hot.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Beignet
