Making homemade sufganiyot has never been easier with this recipe using self-rising flour and yogurt for a tender donut that is delicious with a dusting of confectioners sugar and filled with your favorite jam or jelly!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups self-rising flour

  • ¼ tsp nutmeg 

  • ½ tsp cinnamon

  • 1 ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt, whole milk

  • 2 tsp vanilla

  • Flour for dusting

  • ¾ cup grape jelly or seedless jam

  • Oil, for frying

  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Preparation

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, yogurt, and vanilla. Mix and knead until a dough forms.

  2. Tip the dough onto a floured counter. Press or roll to ½ inch thickness. Cut into circles using a drinking glass.

  3. In a deep fry pan, heat oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot enough, add donuts, 3-4 at a time. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden.

  4. Remove donuts and transfer them to a paper towel lined baking tray.

  5. Once cooled, pipe in the jelly filling.

  6. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.

  7. Enjoy!

Notes

  • No self-rising flour? Add 1 ½ tsp baking powder per cup of flour used— in this case, use 4.5 tsp (1 ½ tbsp baking powder).

  • To test the oil, add a small piece of dough to the pan. The oil is ready if the dough bubbles and floats to the surface.
