Category: Bakery products

Kitchen: Jewish

Ingredients
Flour	400 g
Water	300 g
Sugar	1/3 Art.
Yeast	2 tsp
Salt	pinch
Vanilla sugar	1 sachet
Lean oil for deep fat
Powdered sugar for dusting

Cooking method

• One candle. The first day
• There are such winters in Russia that the first snow falls three times a week.
• Soft, white lies on the ground. The seventh time, the ninth, the fifteenth, and everything is like the first ... The snow becomes light, airy, lighter, even lighter ... From any breath it already swells, takes off and crumbles back. It is enough to close your eyes, and from a wave of eyelashes a handful of white dust will fly up.
• And a simple, quiet song raises its upper covering-white layer, and so, rustling, all the planes of white matter begin to rotate, gradually rising higher, higher, higher ...
• And now nothing is visible except for this white, crumbly powder. Carefully, braiding the words of the song in a quiet voice, we fill a glass with white magic, pour it down to the last grain of sand into the depths of a plate, round as the world, and bottomless from all household chores that cannot be changed in this life or the next, no matter how hard you try ... The song sounds quiet, soft, as if by itself.
• We carefully look into the bowl. The white powder, the one that was scooped up, has become completely tame, it walks from wall to wall, turns, looks a little like a tiny spindle ..... Gute Hanukkah!.. it is ready, white, sweet, holiday flour. Knead the donuts, roll them in the white snow ...
• Sufganiyot "snowy"
• 4 glasses of snow
• rain bucket
• spoon of sadness
• mug of joy
• Mix all the ingredients, leave to rest for 40 minutes.
  The dough is liquid! Fry in oil, lowering the dough with spoons. Due to the fact that the dough is thin, donuts are not perfectly round, but a funny polygonal shape!
  Spread on a napkin to drain the remaining oil.
  Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with icing sugar.

Note

Hanukkah - a Jewish holiday that begins on Kislev 25 and lasts eight days until 2 or 3 Tevet.
The holiday was established in the 2nd century BC. e. in memory of the cleansing of the Temple, the consecration of the altar and the resumption of the temple service by the Maccabees, following the defeat and expulsion from the Temple Mount of the Greco-Syrian troops and their Jewish accomplices in 165 BC. e. Kislev 25 3622 (138 BC) The temple was consecrated anew. The priests were supposed to light the lights of the Menorah (temple lamp), but not a single sealed vessel with ritually pure oil, olive oil, remained in the entire Temple. After a long search, a small jug was found with the high priest's seal intact. There could be enough oil in it for no more than one day. For the same, to prepare a new one, it took eight days. And yet it was decided to light the menorah without waiting for a new portion of oil. And a miracle happened: the fire burned all the necessary eight days. In memory of this miracle, our sages decided to celebrate Chanukah and light Chanukah fires.
In the Talmud, it is prescribed to celebrate this miracle on each of the nine days of Hanukkah to light one candle or lamp per day, so that on the last day of Hanukkah all nine candlesticks burn. These nine lights have become the main symbol of the holiday. These candles cannot be used for any practical purpose. The lighting candle is called "shamash", that is, "servant," and it is placed in the center of the Hanukkah minor, which is sometimes also called "hanerkie". On the first night of Chanukah, the first candle is lit (in the minor key - on the far right). On the second night, the second is lit.With the auxiliary candle, a new candle is lit, then another on the right, and so on, until all the candles are lit on the last night. Candles are placed from right to left, but lit from left to right: this order ensures equal importance to both sides of the hanerkie and shows that God is present everywhere.



Hanukkah is one of the festivals established by the sages. For this reason, there is no ban on working on Hanukkah days. Hanukkah and Purim are sometimes called "children's" holidays (in Israel, for example, these holidays are usually working days, with the exception of children in schools who do not study on these days).
Today the first day, light the first candle ...

Well how can you get by such recipe ??? In general, I could not stand it, although I did not light a candle, but a piece of Hanukkah appeared in my house
Very simple and very fast. Yes, the rabbis will forgive me, but I made the dough on whey and added baking powder. I just really wanted such airy donuts, and for a reason get drunk eat, but with meaning. But I took the best flour - it turned out exactly as I wanted, airy inside, from the edges with a crunch


Masha thank you very much for a piece of the holiday, I look forward to continuing

[Two candles. Second day]

Two candles. Second day

There is flour - it's already very good, but nothing special can be made from flour alone. Glory to Gd, and it often rains here ... Just forget about it, get used to the cold, to fur coats - but no, it will get warmer overnight, it will melt ... You look, and the snow will somehow shrink all over in the morning, and drifts not so formidable. A little more and everything will burst into tears, or not, without bursts, without sobbing ... The first tear rolled down. You can drag it over the glass with your fingertips to the very windowsill, the first tear is always quiet, transparent, and the winter rain itself is warm, quiet. We open the window. Both hands need to be substituted in order to keep this moisture, unexpected, salty, with both palms. We bring a ladle, drop drops into it, as would let go of barbs or guppies, ticklish, skittish aquarium kids. There is flour, there is water.

Yeast 1.5 tsp
Flour 400 gr
Milk 200 ml
Sour cream 50 gr
Margarine 50 gr
Sugar 50 gr
Salt 1 tsp
Vanilla sugar 1 tsp

Knead on the Pizza program. The dough should be thick, like a rolling pin. Roll. Squeeze out the mugs with a glass. Fry them in a skillet in oil or bake them in the oven on a greased baking sheet. You should get ~ 30-35 donuts.

Viki, where did you make such beautiful donuts? It doesn't look like deep fat. Or I'm wrong?

Viki, where did you make such beautiful donuts? It doesn't look like deep fat.

Deep fat. Having a deep fryer in my arsenal, I fried in a cauldron
The photo is not very good, it turned out "top view", and they are almost round. Although, I confess, I saved oil.
They fry so fast!

And here are the Sufganiyots of the second candle:

She poured more oil and they tumbled so merrily
It turned out 32 pcs.

[Three candles. Third day]

Three candles. Third day

There is flour, there is water. What about butter? On Hanukkah, is it possible - without butter?
Run around the dwelling immediately, immediately; check all switches, all electrical lighting devices. Click all the buttons - black, white, short, long - let all the lamps flash, all the candles lick the holiday with sharp tongues of fire. But this light may not be enough. Then you need to walk your hand over the book spines, remember that the bookcase keeps wisdom and silence behind the "seven spines". Or seventy families or seven hundred seventy families. Remember the brightest book in the world, the one over which you smiled quietly and brightly for the first time. What was on the cover? Gold ligature? Picture? Erased letters - so that the names do not even remember?
But even this light may not be enough ...
... Photo albums. Of course! Where else are so many loved ones smiling, laughing, squinting in the sun? Where else is there so much happiness and pleasant memories if not here? Brides with thin arms and delicate flowers, children with sparkles in their eyes, disheveled, grimy or smart, clean ... All the brightest moments of life of all sizes and colors.
Just remember, for a minute to go into an unreal world, where everyone is close to each other, everyone smiles at each other; and the brightest and most joyful, the kindest and wisest fills the house with memories and happiness. The light pulsates, shrinks, then grows stronger, spreads around the apartment, and you already have something smooth, orange, inexpressibly warm and light in your hands - Hanukkah oil, giving strength for eight days, months, years, centuries, millennia ..

Flour, water, oil. Yes, we are almost ready, you can mix ingredients, knead, cut out circles, bake ... The smallest thing is missing - emotions, mood: sadness, joy, enthusiasm, surprise. Let in cooking all this be replaced by powders and seasonings, preserves and jams, vanillin and citric acid, and let the most necessary things become salt and sugar.

Sufganiyot "curd"
1/2 pack of cottage cheese
0.5 cups sugar
2 tsp yeast
400 gr flour
2 eggs
60 gr. margarine
100 ml milk
salt on the tip of a knife

Mix all the ingredients, knead the hard dough (under a rolling pin). I kneaded in HP on the "Pizza" program.Allow the dough to come up, roll out, cut out circles with a glass. Fry in oil.

Masha, well fsё !!! There is nowhere further. Give a break! Here and so ... the whole country smelled of donuts, all the counters look like this:


Especially yesterday I took a picture in the super.
In fact, even on Hanukkah they do not eat Sufganiyet every day, sometimes they are replaced with ladoks (potato pancakes), cheese pancakes, everything that is fried in oil. Or just light the candles

Masha, well fsё !!! There is nowhere further. Give a break!

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Well tada come on!

[Five candles. Day five]

Five candles. Day five

Yeast in such a magical Hanukkah cooking is a rather dangerous thing, it should be added carefully, with knowledge, with skill, with skill. After all, you don't need a lot of them, add a bag or a stick (the main thing is that neither more nor less than necessary).
In general, you act like this: turn on the TV, find the news. Channel - any, appearance does not play a leading role. Come out, close the room with a key - you need silence and emptiness, otherwise the products will subsequently rise poorly, you start to create ...

Sufganiyot with jam
¼ cups of sugar
1 tsp dry yeast
2 egg yolks
1 tbsp. l. butter or margarine
1 tsp vanillin
400 gr flour
240 ml water
¼ teaspoon salt
vegetable oil for deep fat
jam
powdered sugar



Knead a moderately tough, sticky dough. Leave it for 1-1.5 hours to rise. When the dough rises well, roll out a layer 1 cm thick, cut out circles with a glass, let it rest for 20 minutes and deep-fry it. When the donuts are cool, use a pastry syringe to stuff them with jam. Sprinkle with powder

SAVE! Right now, at the manitor I will die of starvation - an incredible appetite covered me !!!! MIRACLE your donuts!

[Manya]

Sufganiyot (Hanukkah donuts)
Ingredients

Flour 4 tbsp.
Water 4 tbsp.
Sugar 1 tbsp.
Yeast 2 tsp
A pinch of salt
Powdered sugar
Lean oil for deep fat
Vanilla sugar 1 sachet

So, sir, Manya! I will report! this recipe of yours specifically cheated. Either half the water or twice the flour. Otherwise, instead of dough, you get liquid, which, at best, can be used for pancakes ...

Strange ... I corrected it ... I wrote it in a completely different way ... Well I double-check all the recipes and bake them, correcting something along the way or adding. The dough for these donuts should be liquid, like pancakes, with a consistency of 20% sour cream somewhere, not under a rolling pin. I'll check the rest of the recipes ... maybe there is something wrong

Late. Already threw up flour. Let's see what happens ...
By the way, this is the first time I see donuts on batter. This is then, rather, pancakes with yeast ...

This is then, rather, pancakes with yeast ...

well, yes, current deep-fried

Mash, here the laggards are going to catch up, I want to make donuts with cottage cheese today. Tell me, how many grams do you have in a pack of cottage cheese? otherwise the recipe contains half a pack

well, yes, current deep-fried

Man, so this is not a Sufganiy from getting TTSA ...

And this is a philosophical question. Blown up like cute Donuts.

Well, okay ...

Well, sho?

Not that I did it ... Sufganiyot should not be like that ...

I made Sufganiyot last year with a recipe from here: 🔗
The recipe bribed me by not having to wait until the dough is right. Knead it and immediately put it in the refrigerator. And then pinch off the required amount, form as much as you can eat at a time, and the rest back to the refrigerator ... True, I didn’t mess with the batch, but quickly mixed everything in HP. It turned out no worse.
These are my last year's:

[Caprice]

Mash, even though today is the sixth day, I am carrying a report on donuts of the fourth day

Caprice, did you follow the first recipe? When I cooked them, I probably read the recipe inattentively, and did not see that there was yeast, so I did it on baking powder ...I really liked the result, although the form may have pumped up

[Six candles. Day six]

Six candles. Day six

Close your eyes for a minute. Yes, yes, just like that, take yes and close. Imagine a creamy gray, sleep deprivation, gloomy morning sky. And now plump the wet, mobile yolk of a thick clear sun into the center of the composition - and at the moment life began to bubble, hissed in a pan, smelled of coffee, scrambled eggs, toast - and the sun has long been at its zenith, and even if we do not see it, we know that it is , pulsates, hides, slowly walks around us in large and small circles.



Classic donuts
1 egg
1/2 tbsp. granulated sugar
3-4 tbsp. l melted margarine
400 gr. flour
150-180ml milk
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ h. L. nutmeg
lemon peel
1/3 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil for frying
Beat eggs and gradually add sugar, margarine. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest, salt. Chill the dough slightly for easy sculpting.

Roll out the dough on a floured board to 12 mm thick. Cut with a well-floured donut cutter. Let the dough stand for another 10 minutes and dry so that it absorbs less oil.
It is necessary to fry in a large amount of oil. Cover with caramel-nut glaze.

To be continued ... Tomorrow is the seventh day

Seven candles. Day seven

For the next Sufganiyot we need cognac. Do you know what you have to get it from? Almost precious metal. And every girl and every woman has her own treasured jewelry box. The girls have broken brooches, single earrings with bright stones, pins, gilded rings, badges, colored hair ties - and if at least one trinket is lost, they will roar all over the house and tears the size of grapes will roll down their cheeks. These are girly jewelry. We will only slightly open them, run our finger over them so that the hostess does not see, does not worry. Women's jewelry is another matter entirely. Let's pull out from the bottom, from under small boxes and tangled chains, thick amber beads, whether grandmother's or great-grandmother's, but no one else has them. Let's roll the beads between our palms, remember one, the most turbid, breathe on it - until it warms up, becomes soft, pliable, until drops come out of it - thick, fragrant. Yes, we only need 2 spoons.



Sufganiyot "with cognac"
1.5 tsp. yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
260 ml. milk
400 gr flour
2 yolks
2 tablespoons of sunflower oil
lemon zest (finely grated)
2 tablespoons of cognac
1 pack of vanilla sugar
powdered sugar
jam for filling

Knead the dough, let it rise, roll out a layer 1 cm thick. Let it "rest" under a towel.You can bake one circle at a time, or you can put jam on one circle, then another circle, pinch and fry ... Those donuts in the photo, which are thicker and consist, as it were, of 2 parts, just like that! Put out the oil on a napkin to drain the remaining oil, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

To be continued, tomorrow we light the eighth, last candle ...

Masha, your donuts are just lovely !!! Thank you very much from the whole family !!!
