| It was getting on toward noon and the place was packed so I leaned against the wall near where the beignets are made watching the cook. |
| My ace in the hole for the outing was a visit to a new shop offering beignets, those delectable deep-fried Cajun pastries smothered in powdered sugar. |
| The next morning the guests were awakened by the smell of warm beignets, a smell that reminded Nathan of his stay with Adnan in Morocco. |
| Fry the beignets gently until brown and crispy on one side, turn, and cook the other side. |
| As with the terrine, there was certainly a good-sized portion, but the beignets were a little short on garlic and a touch too dry for my taste. |
| Grabbing a couple of beignets and a cup of coffee, he gestured towards the kitchen. |
