Happy Channukah
Merry Christmas and Happy Channukah,
In my first post to this addictively delicious site, may I ask folks out there for recipes for sufganiyot, or yeasted doughnuts, typically served on Channukah? I would especially appreciate recipes that do not contain dairy products. If anybody has a sourdough version that you like, I would love to try it. Come on guys, we have 8 days so let the games begin...

If you have a good parve challah recipe, that will make nice doughnuts. I fry the dough and then roll in cinnamon sugar. Yum!
Just don't make the same mistake I did the first time. I decided to make "doughnut holes" instead of doughnuts, and they were bigger than they should have been. They were beautifully cooked on the outside but inside, a raw, gooey mess. YUCK! If I'd tried to cook until done, it would have burned the outside.
Doughnut shapes are there for a reason--so that the hot oil can penetrate every part. If you make holes instead, keep them small. I bought both large and small circular dough cutters so I can make real doughnuts this time!
Thank you for your suggestion! Maybe I will try a different recipe every day.

I will be using this recipe for the first time tomorrow tomake sufganiyot for 30people. There are some reviews on the site that might be helpful.
Good luck!

Thank you so much! How did they turn out?
I think they turned out fine. I have never made or ate them ebfore, so have nothing to compare with. But they baked through, puffed up nicely and everyone was happy with them. Kroha
