Sufganiyot are deep-fried jelly filled donuts filled that are traditionally eaten during the Jewish holiday of Chanukah. The oil used to fry the donuts serves as a symbol for the oil that miraculously burned for eight days on the menorah in the ancient Temple of Jerusalem. This tradition is now observed throughout the world on Chanukah, but these powdered sugar-covered, homemade jelly donuts are delicious any time of the year no matter your cultural background!It is a good idea to involve your children and grandchildren in baking them. You can use different types of filling (custard, chocolate , caramel) and decorate them as you like.
