Well, considering that you will need to fry them, I'm not sure how a beignet can be "no fuss." I guess if you are used to frying things and that isn't time consuming and expensive for you it might not be considered a fuss. I made doughnuts a couple of times and from my experience, they are definitely going to take quite a bit of work, and the oil will make them cost quite a bit as well. They may very well be totally worth it to you, but I doubt you'll be able to make them quickly.
