Easy Beignet Bites

Who wants to make their own delicious and easy beignet bites? This girl! Join me, you can make this delicious recipe in under 30 minutes. I recently went on a trip and every night I had beignets for dessert. They are like little bites of heaven, I couldn't get enough of them. So when I got home I was determined to learn how to make my own beignets.

All the beignet recipes I looked at called for more patience than I have right now. 1-3 hours depending on the recipe because you can't speed up the process of rising dough. SO, I've created a shortcut I am sharing with you today. Instead of making dough from scratch, you just need a package of crescent rolls. These beignet bites are a little different than a real beignet, but taste delicious and satisfy the craving for sure.

Ingredients

1 Package crescent rolls
2 Tbsp Coconut oil
1/4 Cup Powered sugar
Large skillet and a spatula

Instructions

Melt the coconut oil in the skillet over medium heat. You can use another oil, but the coconut oil adds a nice extra flavor to the dough as it's cooking.
Unroll the crescent rolls and cut into bite sized pieces. The end point of each crescent, just fold over itself to make a rectangle.
Place the dough pieces in the skillet and allow to brown, 45 seconds to about a minute. Flip the bits over and brown on the other side. While cooking, the dough should rise a tiny bit, making them nice and fluffy.
Place cooked dough pieces on a paper towel to allow to cool and soak up some of the oil.
Place on a plate and generously sprinkle with powered sugar.

Sprinkle beignet bites with powered sugar to taste

Each crescent roll makes 7-8 bites.
This recipe should take you about 20 minutes to make.

These are so YUMMY! I had to taste test about 1/2 of my first batch just to make sure I loved them.

You could making a delicious dipping sauce or each the bites right off the plate. Serve as a little snack at your Mardi Gras party or enjoy as a dessert with a side of homemade ice cream.
