Eat Latkes and Sufganiyot
Oil symbolizes the miracle of the long lasting Menorah. Therefore we eat fried foods that are rich in oil. We’ve included 2 classics, and one new Israeli recipe.
The famous Eva Sweets Sufganiyot recipe
total: 5 hours (with a lot of down time:)
active: 1 hour
level: advanced (you can do it!!!)
While this is not your easiest recipe, the joy of seeing these donuts rise is the joy of Hanukkah. Even if they don’t come out perfect - you are guaranteed a fun day in the kitchen.
Classic Potato Latkes
total: 1 hour
active: 30 mins
level: easy
There’s not a lot to get wrong here.. and the smell of fresh latkes is sure to attract some friends…
Orna & Ella Yam Pancakes
total: 3 hours (again.. some down time here..)
active: 15-30 mins
level: medium
So so yummy, fried in butter and not oil. This one is more of a ‘new tradition’, but is also considered an Israeli ‘classic’ from the famous Orna & Ella restaurant in Shenkin st. in Tel-Aviv.
