The reason is the undiluted canned evaporated milk. When I grew up in the Irish Channel canned evaporated milk (pet milk) was a delicacy. Use Danno's recipe as it is written and you won't be disappointed. Thanks for the recipe it is perfect. Oh, it can be doubled without a problem.

But tell me, what is it about evaporated milk? Can one successfully use ordinary, fresh milk instead, or is there a magic additive that is a "secret ingredient". Keep up the good work. Hi Nola,

Keep up the good work.

I like to do what tastes best on this site, if it happens to be lard, lard it is. My pleasure Mona, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. This site is all about recreating the lovely food of New Orleans at home. Laurie - I love the cane syrup as well, Steen's is a wonderful product. I love it drizzled on Pain Perdu.

I can almost taste them. We grew up on beignets but without the powdered sugar. We used to eat them with butter and Pure Cane syrup. Yum-yum! Once again, a great picture. I can almost taste them.
