Time 1h12m

Yield 9-12 Donuts, 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast or 1/2 ounce fresh yeast
2 tablespoons warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter or 1 ounce margarine
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup warm water (approximately) or 1/4 cup milk (approximately)
oil (for frying)
9 teaspoons fruit jelly, for filling (your choice of flavor)
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Mix the yeast, 2 tablespoons warm water and sugar in a small bowl, and leave to stand till bubbly.
  • Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
  • Rub the butter or margarine into the flour (the kids will LOVE doing this).
  • Make a well in the flour mixture (I always skip this part) and add the yeast mixture, the beaten egg and just enough of the warm milk/water to make a soft dough.
  • Beat well and kneed for 5 minutes on a floured board.
  • Divide into 12 pieces (If you prefer an American vs. dainty British size, divide into 9).
  • Kneed each piece and place apart on a greased and floured tin (or a sheet of foil, or your mixing bowl!).
  • Brush with water and place in (or cover with) a greased plastic bag.
  • Leave until they have doubled in size (about 45 minutes to an hour) (perfect timing to light, and sit by, the menorah).
  • Fry in oil that is not too hot 350F-360F, (huh? I don't own a kitchen thermometer! But it's hot enough when a TINY droplet of water skims across the surface. I use enough oil to cover 1/3 of the sufganiyot) turning over once to brown both sides, about 3 minutes.
  • Drain on absorbent paper.
  • When cool enough to handle, but not to cool, insert the jelly in the middle. I use one teaspoon (5 ml) and put it in with a syringe. (You can alternatively use the handle of a spoon to make a hole in the side of the doughnut and spoon in the jelly, or put the jelly in a little baggie, make a hole in the corner and squeeze it into the hole.).
  • Sprinkle on confectioners sugar. (and go return the store-bought doughnuts. They just won't pass muster after you taste these!).
