I love to bake treats for my teachers, family and friends in February. By this team, all of the Christmas chocolate and cookies are long gone, and everyone is in the mood for something yummy.
This year, I'm especially looking forward to baking . I'm in my last year at an all girls' school and I want to make every month memorable. I have decided to make goodies from different countries this month.
I'm going to try one of my favorite desserts -- beignets! These are definitely a big step up from the gooey creations made at your local donut shop.
Kids definitely need help from parents to make beignets because you are working with hot oil. I actually know a lot more about cooking and kitchen safety than my mom, so I am usually the one who helps to supervise her.
An important and, in my view, necessary tool is a deep-fry thermometer. You need one of these to make sure the oil is right temperature so that the beignets are perfect!

I really like to have a nice mug of hot chocolate with a beignet. My mom and dad like to have coffee with theirs.
If you're bringing your beignets to school, as I am, make sure to keep them warm by loosely wrapping them in aluminum foil. Serve them to your classmates as soon as you get to school! It's a great way to start the day!
