How to Make Cafe Du Monde Beignets

Oct. 18, 2005 — -- New Orleans' legendary Cafe Du Monde, famous for its beignets and chicory coffee, opened today after the longest break in its 143-year history. The French Quarter cafe has been closed since Hurricane Katrina swept through the city. Cafe Du Monde suffered only minor damage but had storm-related problems such as no power or drinkable water for several weeks.

Cafe Du Monde serves only coffee and beignets, squares of fried dough with powdered sugar. Tips from Cafe Du Monde on making their delicious beignets are below. You can also visit www.cafedumonde.com/beignetdemo.html.
