ISRAELI DOUGHNUTS |
Makes about 25 doughnuts
| Doughnuts are a favorite seasonal snack, eaten mostly in winter at Hanukkah. These doughnuts, cooked in oil, commemorate the oil that burned in the ruined temple in Jerusalem for eight days, although the supply appeared to be enough only for a single day. The secret of a really delicious doughnut is its freshness, so fry these just before serving. The dough can be made well ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use. |
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups (12 oz.) sour cream
2 tbsp. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 ¼ cup vegetable oil (for frying)
1 cup powdered sugar (for coating doughnuts)
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups (12 oz.) sour cream
2 tbsp. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 ¼ cup vegetable oil (for frying)
1 cup powdered sugar (for coating doughnuts)
1.) In a mixing bowl, add each ingredient (except oil and
powdered sugar) one at a time, mixing well after each
addition. The batter will be very soft.
2.) In a deep skillet, heat oil until hot enough to fry a 1-inch
cube of bread in 1 minute. Carefully place dough, 1
tablespoon at a time, unto oil. Fry doughnuts, a few at a
time, 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides.
Remove from oil with slotted spoon and drain on paper
towels.
3.) When all doughnuts are fried, pour powdered sugar into
a plastic or brown paper bag. Add a few doughnuts at a
time, close bag, and shake gently until well coated with
sugar. Serve warm.
