These beignets taste like the came right from a bakery in Cameroon. The interior is cakey as it should be. It is literally like plain cake.

They are slightly crunchy on the outside. They look, smell and taste like the real beignets souffles. The ones we always purchased from the bakeries in our country, Cameroon.

The struggle to make this has been real. We made some that turned out like drop doughnuts, some that were too soft, some that were too eggy, and the list goes.

We have honestly lost count of how much we tested this recipe.

When we finally nailed it, we wrote down the recipe wrong. So on shoot day, we put together our ingredients and got the wrong result.

That video shoot could not be used and we went back to the drawing board. So glad we got it right this time! In fact, we did a happy dance when it came out just right!

Back then we would always purchase beignets souffles from the bakeries. Right now, we're so glad we can enjoy it anytime at home. Just like we can make our own pain au lait! Cooking at home is the best!

Hope you enjoy these bakery-style beignets. Watch the video, print the recipe then go make some!
