Recipe: Hannukah Fritters (Sfenj)

Categories: None

Yield: 25 -30 fritte

      1 kg (2 lbs) sieved flour
      1 ts Salt
     30 g  (1 oz) baker`s yeast

Here is a recipe for Hannukah from the book "Moroccan Jewish Cookery" by Viviane and Nina Moryoussef:

Dissolve yeast in a glass of lukewarm water. Mix all the ingredients with a glass of lukewarm water & knead thoroughly to give a light, soft, elastic dough. Add a little more water if necessary. Cover with a clean cloth & leave to rise for 3 or 4 hours. Take a little ball of dough in oiled hands. Make a hole in the center & pull it out to form a little crown. Drop the rings one by one into hot oil. Serve these fritters hot & well risen, dusted with sugar or honey.

They are best when eaten immediately...don`t worry about storing the leftovers because there won`t be any!!!
