Okay, so you know when you’re in the final stages of that huge dinner party and more than half of your cook top space is taken up by the roasting pan in order to produce perfect gravy? The cranberry sauce is reheating to the right which leaves little if no room for that boiling pot of Yukon Gold’s. Before you know it, the spud water is diluting your anti-oxidant rich berries and the freak out is close at hand.
Stop right there!!! As much as we’d all love a Viking 6 burner and double ovens, it just ain’t gonna’ happen in the next hour. Don’t despair, I have a solution for every cook, and it doesn’t require a home equity loan to purchase it. Get a portable induction cook top and freak no more!
A traditional New Orleans yeast pastry that is deep-fried and served hot with a generous dusting of confectioners’ sugar. Savory beignets, such as herb or crab, are also very popular. The name comes from the French word for “Fritter.” The French word sounds like something Gerard Depiardeu might say, whereas Fritter comes straight from porch sittin’ Uncle Jed . Beignets anyone?
