IMHO merging is a bad idea. Why? All we would end up with is a separate section on this page about Bugnes - they're different enough to warrant separate discussions. Bugnes are small, and a speciality unique to Lyon. Beignets are a general term for donutty things. I don't see a lot of advantage in combining the two on one page.

beignet was created by africans but the europeans stole the idea as they did with everything in africa. nigerias also eat the dessert, but reffer to it as puff-puff.
- Well, if that's true, it's a fascinating story. Got a source? Deltabeignet 05:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Recipe
The recipe in the article doesn't make sense. It doesn't list any leavening agent, so "letting the dough sit overnight to rise" is pointless. In fact the egg-white foam will quickly collapse. If nobody protests, I will remove the recipe. --Bartosz 19:04, 24 April 2006 (UTC) Good point, blast it awaySnafflekid 05:38, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Puff pastry link
The link to "puff pastry" should be to "choux pastry" or "cream puff pastry".
