About the recipe

It's always the classics that make our hearts beat faster during the festivities. Sufganyot (or donuts) are definitely one of these absolute must-try recipes on Hanukkah. The soft deep-fried balls filled with your favorite jam are incredibly delicious and quick to eat.
If jam has become too boring for you, you can also use chocolate cream, vanilla pudding or lemon curd as an alternative. Good luck!

125 ml milk
50 g sugar
