A jelly doughnut, also known as a jelly-filled doughnut or sufganiyah, is a sweet pastry made from deep-fried dough. It is typically round and filled with fruit preserves or jelly, often dusted with powdered sugar on the outside. The filling can vary, with popular choices including raspberry, strawberry, or grape jelly. Jelly doughnuts are enjoyed in many cultures and are especially popular during celebrations. In Jewish tradition, they are commonly eaten during Hanukkah to commemorate the miracle of the oil. These treats are loved for their soft texture and sweet, fruity filling, making them a favorite dessert or snack.
