Sufganiyot are deep-fried fluffy donuts without holes that are commonly served during the Hanukkah season. This is a traditional Jewish holiday recipe. Fill with your favorite jam or jelly.
Ingredients
4 cups self-rising flour
2 (8 ounce) containers yogurt
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla sugar
1 pinch salt
3 quarts vegetable oil for frying
Step by step
Combine flour, yogurt, eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt in a large bowl; mix well. Set the dough aside for 30 minutes.
Form dough into 2-inch balls.
Heat vegetable oil to 365 degrees F (190 degrees C) in a large pot or deep fryer over high heat. Deep-fry sufganiyot, in batches, in hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes, turning them halfway through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer donuts to a paper towel-lined plate; repeat with remaining dough.
