Jewish · Hanukkah
A little doughnut. A lot of joy.
The first bite is soft. The next one might land jam on your shirt.
Sufganiyot are doughnuts associated with Hanukkah. Like latkes, they belong to the custom of eating foods fried in oil to remember the holiday's miracle. Jelly-filled versions are familiar, but the story is bigger than one filling.
Bring it to your table
Share small doughnuts from a bakery you like. Ask which filling belongs in someone’s childhood and which they would love to try next.
Would you keep the classic jam or take a sweet detour?
