Beignets

I am making beignets for my church group tonight (we are have a Cajun theme dinner).  I was born in New Orleans (Gretna, La) and lived in the area for the first couple of years of my life.  So beignets were always a fun thing to make in my family. 

I have a box of the Cafe du Monde mix that I got from a speciality grocery store here.  Do I use Vegetable oil or Canola oil to cook the beignets?  As well, I do not have an electric skillet.  Am I okay to just use a deeper pan to fry up the beignets?
