Another oily concoction that commemorates the miracle of the oil, is the fried, greasy and the favorite Chanukah tradition in Israel, the Sufganiya (Sufganiyot pl.)

This tradition has spread beyond the borders of Israel, and nowadays, no Chanukah party that is self-respecting will be complete without this sweet "delicacy."

Recipe for Sufganiyot (Chanukah Donuts)
   · 3 cups sifted flour
   · 2 eggs (beaten)
   · 1/2 teaspoon salt
   · 5 tablespoons sugar
   · 1/2 cup oil
   · 2 packages of dried yeast
   · 1 packet (.2 ounce) vanilla sugar
   · 1 cups warm water
   · jam
   · confectioners sugar

Place 2 cups flour in bowl with salt, sugar, yeast, vanilla sugar. Mix well. Add oil and water and mix till smooth. Add eggs and mix again. Add remaining flour until smooth, elastic texture is obtained. Let the dough rise in a moist warm place. Knead again then roll out the dough with rolling pin.

Cut into the rolled-out dough with the rim of a glass. Allow the doughnut rounds to rise for another 20 minutes or so. Use a heavy pot to fry the doughnut rounds in deep hot oil (350-375 degrees) until golden brown.

Drain doughnuts on paper towels. Inject with jam and roll in confectioners sugar. Enjoy.
