Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • one plantaian, sliced (if you can't find plantains, use a banana!)
  • one tube of "flaky" style biscuit dough
  • 1 cup butter flavored shortning for frying
  • powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
  1. If you have a deep fryer, get it ready and set at 325. If you do not have a deep fryer, use a heavy skillet, and using a thermometer, keep the melted shortening at 325.
  2. Open the tube of dough, and separate the biscuits. You will then cut each biscuit into fourths.
  3. Place a half slice of a plantain on the biscuit, and wrap the dough around it. It will look exactly like a petite vanilla bean scone!
  4. Once your beignets are all prepped, it's time to start frying. These cook FAST. You want the beignets to be a nice golden brown. Remove from the oil and generously dust with powdered sugar and then top with the hazelnut praline sauce (recipe to follow)
