Tiana’s Dad’s Gumbo

Gumbo to share with the whole neighborhood!

The Tabasco really adds a great kick! Tiana and her dad can really make some great gumbo. Here’s a recipe for some of the best gumbo I’ve had, coming straight from the Princess and the Frog cookbook.

Tiana’s Beignets

At the restaurant and at the party, Tiana serves some amazing beignets.

I love beignets ever since we visited New Orleans and had beignets at the Cafe du Monde. These weren’t as good as the ones at Cafe du Monde, but they were really good, coming straight from the Princess and the Frog cookbook

Ingredients
  1. 2 3/4 cups flour
  2. 1/3 cup sugar
  3. 2 teaspoons baking powder
  4. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  5. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  6. 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  7. 1 cup buttermilk
  8. 1/3 cup water
  9. 1 egg, beaten
  10. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  11. Vegetable oil, for frying
  12. Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 2 3/4 cups of the flour with the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk everything together.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, water, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture from Step 1.
  3. Use some of the remaining flour to dust your work surface. Place the dough on it and pat it into a large 1/2 -inch-thick square. Dust the top with more flour if it gets sticky. Next, slice the dough into 2 1/2 -inch squares.
  4. Now it’s time to fry the beignets—be sure to ask an adult to help you! Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy saucepan on the stove top until the temperature reaches 325° on a deep fat thermometer. Check the temperature with a cooking thermometer every so often while cooking. If it gets too hot, temporarily turn the heat down, or off.
  5. Carefully drop 3 dough squares at a time into the hot oil. Fry them for 3 minutes, turn them over, and continue frying for 3 more minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beignets to a wire rack set atop paper towels to drain. Dust the beignets with confectioners’ sugar, and enjoy!

Part of the food Tiana serves at the diner, was flapjacks.

  1. I remember when I first attempted to make the beignets. I was so messy that I almost covered myself in hot oil. XD Seriously though, these look amazing and I’m sure you put a lot of effort into these recipes. Can’t wait to try some of these. See you in week 2! 🙂

  2. Do you suppose that when you get to the end of the feature films, you’ll move on to Disney’s other stuff? The shorts, TV shows, etc.? I’ve always wanted to try the Wise Little Hen’s corn bread…

    • Ya, I haven’t decided what I’ll do after. Doing other shows and cartoons is definitely a possibility. I’ll keep that cornbread in mind!
