For extra light and airy beignets, let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes before frying. Maintain a consistent oil temperature for even cooking and prevent the beignets from becoming greasy. Don't overcrowd the pan while frying to ensure the beignets cook properly and maintain the oil temperature. Get creative with your toppings! Consider a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream. These beignets are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Reheat briefly in a warm oven or toaster oven to restore some of their crispness.
