One of the most classic Disney snacks of all time has GOT to be beignets. These warm, fluffy treats that you can find in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World come in all sorts of flavors that we’ve been obsessing over throughout the years.

So imagine our delight when we saw that Disney had blessed us with a recipe on recreating Tiana’s beignets at home! We have a feeling we know EXACTLY what we’ll be doing this weekend!

So let’s get cracking and make some beignets! This recipe will serve 10 large “man-catchin'” beignets (a direct quote from Charlotte LeBouf) or 2 dozen small beignets.

Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into individual squares. Let dough rise for two hours in a warm area. Again, you can cover with a dish towel.

Step five

Heat vegetable oil to 350º and fry beignets for two to three minutes, until golden brown. I usually only do two or three at a time, flipping them once or twice for an even fry.

Step six – last step!

And presto! You have recreated one of Disney’s most iconic snacks. If you want a real authentic Disneyland experience, grab a hold of some paper bags, throw the beignets and some powdered sugar inside, and shake! Just be sure to do the shaking outside. It can get messy!
