The first time I made beignets, I used canola oil. We had just come from New Orleans and my husband and I both said, good, but not exactly right. If you want the taste of NOLA, cottonseed oil is what they use to fry them up. Sadly, I can't find it on the west coast and now can't find it online, at least not affordable. :(
