Beignet

Beignet (English pronunciation: /bɛnˈjeɪ/; French: [bɛɲɛ], literally bump), synonymous with the English "fritter", is the French term for a pastry made from deep-fried choux pastry. Beignets can also be made from other types of dough, including yeast dough. In Corsica, beignets made with chestnut flour (Beignets de farine de châtaigne) are known as fritelli. Donuts in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada are referred to as both Beigne and Beignet in French.
