No problem for the recipe, I had basically the same feelings about the dough when I made it - it felt way too sticky but in the end we just added a bit more flour and it turned out fine. It took us a few tries to get not only the frying time right but also the size of the individual pieces (eventually ending on a more triangular shape in lieu of rectangular), but the end result was amazingly delicious. I wish we could have had more than just two varieties of toppings (both involving confectioner's sugar), but that's what future beignet-outings are for ;)
(great pictures, by the way)

Beignets
This evening I made Beignets for the family, I have been promising my Dad them for about a week, so he was quite excited. I was a little apprehensive about the dough, it was very wet and sticky which was not what I anticipated, it was also a little difficult to incorporate the shortening into everything. Other than that they went without a hitch, it was a lot of fun to do the frying as well as trying them out with all the toppings I could think of, although I was longing for nutella by the end of the evening! Here are the pictures and thanks again for the recipe!!
