Add a photoThis is the Cajun version of New Orleans beignets. While I prefer beignets, croquignoles can be made much faster. Beignets are made from a yeast dough; croquignoles have no yeast and require no rising time. They are not as airy and fluffy as beignets, but are still a good treat! See the link below for pictures and a recipe for Creole Calas (rice fritters--another tasty treat).
