Bring a taste of New Orleans to your kitchen in this fun St. Louis dessert-making experience. In this class, Chef Legina breaks down the process of making beignets into simple, approachable steps. Start by mixing and proofing a traditional dough made with yeast, eggs, evaporated milk and vanilla, learning the techniques behind soft, tender pastries. Next, fry your beignets to a golden finish and create a smooth chocolate filling for a rich contrast inside. To complete the dish, prepare a tangy lemon glaze that adds brightness and balance to every bite. Enjoy your handmade beignets fresh from the fryer and leave with practical baking techniques you can recreate at home.
