Beignets (Louisiana-style Dougnuts)

Have you seen that part in the movie "Chef" where they go to Cafe Du Monde and eat the best beignets in this world... Yeah, that's where I got the grand idea to make these bad boys and it just so happens that they turned out to be incredibly EASY and such a MAJOR MAJOR crowd pleaser...and very addictive...be careful. Anyways, hopefully you give these a go and if you do, make sure you SHARE with your friends and family. It won't be easy though...
