There\u2019s only one football fan in my household, and as much as I\u2019ve tried (which isn\u2019t much), it\u2019s not me. But while I can\u2019t bring much excitement to the game, I can at least bring a good snack.<\/p>\n

Food media always goes all out for the Super Bowl\u2014us included. And because this year\u2019s game is in New Orleans, our Test Kitchen decided to develop game-day recipes inspired by the city. The only problem: I\u2019ve never had a beignet before, but as someone who prefers baking over making a seafood boil (looking at you, Cesar), it felt like an obvious choice.<\/p>\n

Still, I wanted to put a twist on the dessert. My first idea was one giant beignet, like fried dough from a pizza shop, but it didn\u2019t seem exciting enough. Then I thought about shaping them into donut holes and stacking them into a croquembouche with melted sugar, but after frying the dough, that step felt unnecessary and overly complicated. After a few tests, I landed on a simple beignet stack\u2014bite-sized pieces, each coated in a thick layer of powdered sugar. It\u2019s not officially a croquembouche, but close enough. And since it\u2019s made with beignets, we\u2019re calling it a \u201cbeignet-bouche.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, it takes some effort\u2014making and frying dough\u2014but I promise you it\u2019s a showstopping addition to a spread of wings and queso. One tip: They\u2019re technically donuts, so I recommend frying them right before serving, but if that\u2019s not an option, they\u2019ll hold up through the game. And if you\u2019re short on time day-of, you can make the dough the night before and let it rise in the fridge.<\/p>\n

Have you had beignets before? If so, where\u2019s your favorite spot? Let me know in the comments!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
