Holiday Donuts


Did you know that one of the traditional foods of Hanukkah is donuts? Yep, who'd have guessed?! Turns out that it's all about the oil.

I am trying to perfect my donut technique - got a thermometer last year in order to properly measure the oil temperature (375 degrees). Have a pastry tube in order to fill the donuts with raspberry jam. And now I've even got fancy bags in order to make lovely gifts. Almost looks too lovely to eat! Almost...

You put me to shame! Mine look like creatures out of some scifi movie with the word "blob" in it. Fancy, fancy! ;-)

I made mine last night and the guys inhaled them, so I guess they taste good, at least.

Sugar, jam, oil. What's not to love?
