Directions
Sufganiot (Hanukkah Jelly Doughnuts),These plain or jelly-filled doughnuts are a favorite treat in Israel and a sweet alternative to the traditional latkes. Few people say no to doughnuts and this variety fits any appetite. I generally make a double batch of dough, refrigerate it and pinch off portions as I need for fresh treats or for taking along to a Chanukah party.,i might try it a little later but it sounds really good,I make these every year, sorry I never posted a review. I also follow Mirj’s advice about leaving the dough in the fridge and pinching off a bit each night. I’ve tried many ways to fill them and find that an (unused) medicine dropper like those in baby tylenol work well. I love mine with preserves, but my kids and husband insist on filling them with frosting. (I know, not the most traditional thing, but hey, it’s fried and that’s what matters!) Thanks so much. While everyone else gets store bought Munchkins, we get to brag that our’s are homemade. Thanks so much for posting this. It makes something that sounds complicated so very simple.
