Vegan Doughnuts for Hanukkah!

Hanukkah is upon us once again and whether you celebrate holidays or not, you’ll probably agree that the best thing about Hanukkah are the doughnuts! If you’re in Tel Aviv these days, you’ll be smelling them wherever you go.

While it’s not really necessary to use eggs when making doughnuts, some places that sell them do and some places don’t… you won’t know unless you ask :) Or you can simply make them yourself. Ingredients are cheap and you know exactly what goes into your doughnut.

 Here’s an easy recipe for vegan doughnuts:

Ingredients

3 cups flour

1 tbsp yeast

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp oil

3 tbsp sugar

warm water

Frying oil

Strawberry jam 

Powdered sugar


Preparation

1. Mix all ingredients together

2. Let the dough sit in a warm place for about an hour; it should rise to double its size

3. Knead the dough until smooth and let it rise again

4. Heat frying oil in a pan

5. Fry small balls of dough in oil until they turn brown 

6. Absorb oil, add powdered sugar and strawberry jam
