Celebrate Hanukkah by Making Sufganiyot -- Also Known as Israeli Doughnuts
Every culture has its own delicacies and sweet treats. Israel's take on doughnuts is called sufganiyot (pronounced Soof-GAA-NEE-yote) — and it's a game changer. Best described as a hybrid between a beignet and a fluffy doughnut, these pastries are fried in oil and typically filled with a raspberry jam or vanilla pastry crème. They're not overly sweet like most doughnuts are, though.
While sufganiyot are typically made around Hanukkah and other Jewish holidays and served alongside staples such as latke and chocolate babka, no one said they can't be enjoyed year-round.
Hanukkah arrives Dec. 18 to kick off eight days of celebrations, scrumptious meals, and family reunions, and making sufganiyot at home is a good way to celebrate the occasion.
We've outlined everything you need to know about the dessert, and what you need to make it at home.
