Description:

As kids these Hanukkah Doughnuts were always our absolute favorite part of the meal. My nana always made them fresh that morning! They are a traditional Israel dessert and usually served around Hanukkah time because the oil used in preperation signifies the oil that burned for 8 days in the Jerusalem Temple. While they do take some prep. time these are always a crowd pleaser for kids of all ages!

Prep:

1-2 hours (unless using instant rise yeast): Main prep. time is the dough to rise, they take very little time to actually cook

Servings:

makes about 25-45

Ingredients

1
ounce yeast
4
Tbsp. sugar
1
Tbsp. water
3
cups + 1 Tbsp flour
1/4
cup margarine, melted
pinch of salt
2
egg yolks
1
1/4 cups water (room temperature)
jelly (we usually do half strawberry half grape)
oil (for frying)
powdered sugar (as much as desired)

Directions

1.
1. To prepare the dough:
2.
Combine in a bowl.
3.
1 ounce yeast
4.
1 Tbsp. sugar
5.
1 Tbsp. water
6.
1 Tbsp. flour
7.
Mix well, cover, and wait until it rises.
8.
In another bowl, mix
9.
3 cups of flour
10.
1/4 cup melted margarine,
11.
Pinch of salt,
12.
4 Tbsp. sugar
13.
2 egg yolks.
14.
Combine the yeast mixture with the flour mixture. Slowly and steadily add the water while stirring. When batter is smooth good consistency with no lumps, cover the bowl with a towel and let it sit and rise.
15.
2. To make the doughnuts: After the batter has risen, pour it onto a floured surface and roll it out. Cut out circles in the dough (a cookie cutter or even a glass will work).
16.
Place a drop of jelly in the middle of each circle, and then cover with another circle of dough. Make sure that 2 circles attach well to form a closed ball with jelly in the middle. I usually like to pinch the sides together
17.
Cover the doughnuts with a towel and let rise.
18.
3. To fry 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.
19.
These are only good fresh. After you make the dough, only cook as many as you are serving. Store the rest of the dough in the refrigerator.
