Recipe of the Day

Today we have two different varients on the same concept - Chocolate Beignets.

Beignets are basically a square of fried dough dusted / covered in powdered sugar. Particularly popular in New Orleans, these are small squares of addictive goodness.

The first two recipse are Chocolate Beignets, made more traditionally but with a chocolate batter, dusted with either a mixture of cocoa powder and sugar, or plain icing sugar

But doctors worldwide have reported treating broken wrists, arms and ankles; dislocated elbows and even cracked skulls in children injured while wearing roller shoes."
