Directions

  1. Place rhubarb, white sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, cook until rhubarb is tender, about 5 minutes. Strain rhubarb, reserving sugar syrup.

  2. Combine buttermilk, egg, and melted butter in a bowl. Stir in cooked rhubarb.

  3. Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in buttermilk and rhubarb mixture until batter is thick and smooth.

  4. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  5. Spoon batter into a resealable plastic bag, snip a large hole in one corner. Working in batches, squeeze 1-inch lengths of batter into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  6. Stir strawberries into reserved sugar syrup to make sauce. Serve sauce alongside beignets.

Recipe Note

Just a concoction that I came up with, and it turned out so well that I wanted to share it! Crispy fried dough riddled with tangy rhubarb and topped with sweet strawberries. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
