A bit of Origin or history of fritters


The beignets tradition dates back to the Roman festivals of the Kalends of March, celebrating the awakening of nature by agricultural rites. For this reason, the prohibitions are violated and costumes were allowed.

Before the period of fasting forty days, it was customary to celebrate the feast and eat fatty. Hence it comes the Mardi Gras (fat Tuesday), which precedes Lent and corresponds to Spanish Carnival Tuesday.

As the party gathered a large number of people, it was necessary to make cheap sweets and fast food. It was also exhausting the butter, oil, eggs and others before the forty days of fasting. Hence the tradition of beignets and the waffles and crepes.
