Second Night

So last night we lit the menorah, more precisely 3 of them, ate latkes and of course we ate sufganiyot. Because Hanukkah is not Hanukkah without sufganiyot. Sufganiyot are jelly doughnuts without the hole. Traditionally they are covered in powdered sugar. Sufganiyot are particularly popular in Israel, where they are sold on stands in the streets over a month before Hanukkah begins. Lately, you can find different kinds - chocolate, caramel, vanilla and many others.

We have a "secret" recipe for sufganiyot.Thanks Ortal for the tip! :) We make them from frozen dinner rolls - add some powder sugar and jelly - delicious!

    Hi Maya, I am glad I found your blog, I am learning so much about Hanukkah.
    I also have to add that I love your thank you card (a few posts down) you sure do think outside the square when it comes to punches.
    Enjoy your celebrations, the Sufganiyot sure do look yummy.

    Actually, I don't like Sufganiyot at all. They always look tasty but then I take a bite and they are usually oily, I prefer Hungarian Csoroge צ'ורוגה (Deep-Fried Angel Wing Cookies) which are delicious. Look up the name. Your blog is fun, thanks!!

    What kind of diner rolls do you buy? I make Sufganyot the old fahion way and it's very time consuming.

    Maya everything in that picture looks awesome. In honor of your very special day I ate a donut! Although we did not call it by the same name, when I was little my mom made donuts out of canned biscuits in pretty much the same way it sounds as yours are made :) Have a beautiful day :)
