Beignets are a type of deep-fried fritter. In this beignet recipe from Tom Aikens, they are made with a choux pastry, flavoured with lots of Parmesan, and piped into little balls. They make wonderful canapés, but can also be great partners to soups, stews, pasta and other meals. If you want to make these beignets vegetarian, choose a vegetarian cheese as a substitute for the Parmesan, such as Old Winchester.
