Preparation

Step 1

Spread each biscuit into a circle and add 4 chocolate chips and fold the biscuit in half, pressing edges together. Drop each biscuit into oil around 350 degrees. They will come to the top as soon as you drop them in oil. Turn to brown both sides and remove from oil with slotted spoon. Have a bowl of powdered sugar ready and roll hot beignets in sugar. Drizzle with chocolate syrup. Makes 10 beignets. Enjoy!

We like these with and without the chocolate syrup. You can also make these leaving out the chocolate chips for just plain biscuit beignets.
