“Oh, Tia, you are Bonafide genius. I’m gonna need about five hundred of your man-catching beignets for my ball tonight.”

Princess and the Frog

I absolutely adore The Princess and the Frog, and every time I watch it, my mouth waters for Tiana’s beignets. You can imagine my excitement when I discovered that Disney had released a recipe for them! Without hesitation, I decided to give it a try. Although I don’t consider myself an expert cook or baker, I was pleased to find that the recipe is both straightforward and delicious! My experience overall was a success, but I did encounter a slight issue with the vegetable shortening. It didn’t blend perfectly with the other ingredients, so I’m planning to try a different brand next time. I used Great Value, but I think I’ll switch to Crisco and see if that yields better results. As I finished making these tasty treats, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy and accomplishment. Tiana is such an inspiring character and role model, which is why I put up a framed picture of her in my kitchen. If you’ve tried this recipe, I’d love to hear about your experience! Personally, I can’t wait to make these beignets again – they are simply delightful!
