05 Jan Budget Recipe: Sweet Potato Beignets

I'm a sucker for anything that's fried and/or sprinkled with powdered sugar. Seriously, eating funnel cake is my favorite part of attending amusement parks or carnivals. So when I came across a recipe for sweet potato beignets, I was intrigued. Beignets are a New Orleans staple and the sweet potato twist seemed fun. I deviated from the original recipe by omitting the ricotta cheese and using milk. You may need to add more flour to give the mixture a doughier consistency so they can be formed in to balls.

{the ingredients were simple {you most likely have them in your pantry} and affordable}
