Sufganiyot vary tremendously from place to place and from home to home. A jelly donut IS a sufganiya. A sufganiya IS a jelly donut. It all depends on the sufganiya/donut – some people like yeasty, some people like lighter,...

I think I don’t want to do sufganiyot — I’m very committed to homemade desserts (as are my children!), and I’m intimidate to fry doughnuts, but I look forward to eating them during Hanukkah!

Can’t help on sfinge – I’d never heard of them before and a bit of googling only comes up with either the Italian word for “Sphinx” or a Moroccan pasty similar to sufganiyot. Which makes sense since...

You know, as much as I love sufganiyot, and they are easy easy to make at home, there is nothing like a French cruller. :)

traditional for Chanukah is food cooked in oil – potato pancakes (latkes) and jelly donuts (sufganiyot) chief among them. But anything else fried would be good too. Really, though, anything you bring should be ok. If you go...

Filled jelly doughnuts (aka sufganiyot) have become very popular in the States in recent years. If you live in a large city, some Dunkin' Donuts stores have kosher certifications. I usually bring the jelly Munchkins to kids'...

There’s always sufganiyot in the fried-stuff category. And in place of brisket, my mom made a leg of lamb last passover that was fantastic. Just roasted with garlic and herbs, real simple. It’s not exactly seasonally...

quality, or smoked or corned meats that are anything but ordinary....same for knishes, pickles (half sour, full sour, green tomatoes)unborn eggs, sufganiyot..and on and on!!! In the Sephardic or Mizrachi food area, I would also...

jelly donuts (sufganiyot). Last year they had a nice little three-piece group playing Jewish music. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/467898 Saul’s can be very hit and miss, maybe more miss but they are the only source for...
