Make Soofganiot--the Hanukkah Doughnut
There are special Hanukkah recipes that are made only at this time of year in most Jewish homes. Try our soofganiot recipe for a "taste of Israel" at Hanukkah time.
Soofganiot are the Hebrew answer to jelly doughnuts. Fried in oil, as a tribute to the Hanukkah miracle (read our story of Hanukkah) they're fattening, but you have to eat at least one!
Here is one example of this holiday favorite.
Ingredients
- 25 grams yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 3 cups flour
- 50 grams melted margarine
- dash salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cups water and milk mixed together or all water (room temperature)
- oil
- powdered sugar
Instructions for Making the Dough
- Combine yeast, 1 T sugar, 1T water and 1 T flour in a bowl
- Mix well, cover, and wait until it rises.
- In another bowl, mix flour, melted margarine, salt, sugar and egg yolks
- Add yeast mixture to this and mix
- Slowly add water/milk while stirring
- When batter is smooth, cover the bowl with a towel and let it sit and rise
Instructions for Frying the Doughnuts
- Heat oil in a deep pot until very hot
- Drop the doughnuts into the oil and fry on both sides until brown
- Remove with a slotted spoon and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

In Israel, we take a syringe filled with strawberry jam and inject it into the doughnut. When you bite into the soofgania, you find this jam in the middle. Delicious!
