You didn't say how much coffee to use, but I used 4 cups and it turned out really well. The google beignet recipe was good too--they really puffed up--but Sarah commented that the yeast flavor wasn't in the ones at Cafe Du Monde. So you were probably right about the mix, and we probably just didn't heat the oil hot enough last time. <br/><br/>The beignets and coffee were so good that we're having them for breakfast tomorrow too.<br/><br/>Thanks!<br/><br/>-Ben Hi Harvey,

The beignets and coffee were so good that we’re having them for breakfast tomorrow too.

Thanks!

And we might order some of that olive salad mix, which would probably be yummy even on vegetarian sandwiches.
