Every Hanukkah we meet for the traditional candle lighting at my grandmother’s house. Of course, there is plenty of food (mainly quick doughnuts and levivot), but the gathering itself, which does not include a huge, binding meal, makes the whole event more fun than usual.<\/p>\n

Up until a few years ago, my grandmother, Bella, used to make us her own wonderful quick doughnuts made with yogurt or sour cream. However, in recent years it has been a little harder for her, so we arrive earlier and prepare them with her in the kitchen. She looks at me and my sister as we all mix and measure together, and in the end the result is always delicious, small, golden, tasty doughnuts. Traditionally, and ever since I can remember, we serve them with powdered sugar and some jam or jelly to taste.<\/p>\n

To me, these are the best doughnuts in the world, certainly compared to all the store-bought doughnuts that are every year becoming more and more extravagant. They are very quick and easy to prepare (half an hour including frying and it’s on your table!), and are simply great. This is a nostalgic recipe that has been going on for years in the family, and if there is one thing that I wait for every year on Hanukkah – it is undoubtedly my grandmother’s doughnuts.<\/p>\n
