Sufganiyot (Chanukah Doughnuts)

[Guest guest]

The miracle of Chanukah is that the oil for the holy temple that should have

only lasted one day lasted for eight. That's why it's traditional to eat fried

foods, such as latkes and doughnuts. Good thing Chanukah only lasts for eight

days :-)

 

Substitutions can probably be made for the eggs, cream and butter.
