New Orleans–style beignets and Nigerian puff-puffs have many similarities; they are both pieces of fried dough dusted with powdered sugar, but we use an air fryer to cut the SmartPoints®. These mildly sweet fritters, as puffy as pillows, taste even better if the dough rises overnight in the fridge. They are best enjoyed with a cup of coffee— and if you want to go full-on New Orlean's style, serve with chickory coffee.
