This is another old recipe from Chuck Taggart and it has been said that women in New Orleans used to sell these on the streets to workers early every morning as they hurried off to their jobs. They are sort of like a beignet. **Other variations are to serve with honey or Steen's Cane Syrup instead of the powdered sugar**
