Sufganiyot Recipe

Sufganiyot are traditional Jewish jelly-filled doughnuts, beloved especially during Hanukkah. These deep-fried treats are golden brown on the outside with a soft, fluffy interior, filled with sweet jam and dusted with powdered sugar. Their warm, tender texture and sweet filling make them a perfect indulgence during the holiday season, symbolizing the miracle of oil. Sufganiyot are often enjoyed fresh and warm, offering a delightful contrast of crispy and soft, and are a delicious way to celebrate and share joy with family and friends.
