Vanilla, sugar
The beignet, an indulgent Mardi Gras tradition
The beignet — not to be confused with a bugne or angel wing doughnut — is an iconic speciality that appears each year with the carnival season. An unmissable tradition in the weeks leading up to Lent, the beignet embodies the last moment of indulgence before restrictions, a celebration which our Maison has perfected over the years, with the same high standards that we apply for all our creations.
A fluffy brioche dough, elevated with vanilla
Our Classic Beignet consists of an expertly prepared brioche dough, delicately enhanced with vanilla to add a subtle, aromatic sweetness. Shaped and then deep-friend, each beignet rises to reveal a beautifully fluffy interior and a golden-brown exterior.
Once friend, each beignet is generously dusted with sugar, in a simple yet not to be underestimated finish that perfectly highlights the natural decadence of this speciality. With no filling, this classic beignet celebrates the purity of the brioche dough and the delicate flavours of vanilla.
A pleasure designed to be enjoyed without delay
The Classic Beignet is best enjoyed warm or at room temperature, so that you can savour its cloud-like texture and notes of vanilla. Served alongside a coffee, hot chocolate or tea, it makes the perfect addition to a mid-afternoon tea/coffee break or offers a great alternative dessert. Whenever you tuck into it, it’s guaranteed to add a moment of pure and simple, comforting indulgence to your day, aligning with the spirit of Mardi Gras.
