These beignets were a disaster. They were flat and greasy, and the dipping sauce was way too spicy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my beignets didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected.

These beignets were good, but I think I would have liked them better if they were fried instead of baked.

I'm not a big fan of crawfish, but these beignets were still really good. The dipping sauce was also very flavorful.

These crawfish beignets were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delicious Cajun dipping sauce. I will definitely be making them again.
