I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beignets turned out flat and dense.

The beignets were good, but the Cajun sauce was a bit too salty for my taste.

I thought the beignets were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

The Cajun sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but the beignets themselves were delicious.

I've made these beignets several times now and they always turn out perfectly. They're light and fluffy, with a crispy exterior.

The Cajun sauce was the perfect accompaniment to the beignets. It was spicy and flavorful, but not too hot.
