The annual Café du Memphis benefiting the Dorothy Day House is Saturday May 1 at the Malco Summer Drive-In from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This year’s event will be a drive-thru.
The Rotary Club of Memphis hosts this event annually, and Pierre Landaiche has been one of the organizers and lead cooks since day one.
Pierre offered his tips on cooking beignets at home.
The first thing you have to know about beignets is they’re best when eaten hot and fresh - right after you take them out of the grease and sprinkle them with powdered sugar. He says a flour sifter is a great way to evenly sprinkle the powdered sugar on the beignets.
