Cooking Class: Make Fresh New Orleans Beignets

Master New Orleans-style beignets in this fun, hands-on cooking class with Chef Legina. 


Get ready to create one of New Orleans' most irresistible treats. In this fun, hands-on cooking class, Chef Legina will show you how to make melt-in-your-mouth beignets completely from scratch. Mix up a classic dough with sugar, yeast, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla and flour while learning the secrets to achieving a light, fluffy texture.
