A sufganiyah is a traditional jelly-filled doughnut that is popular during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. These sweet treats are typically deep-fried in oil, symbolizing the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days in the Temple after the Maccabean revolt. Sufganiyot, the plural form of sufganiyah, are often dusted with powdered sugar or glazed and can be filled with various flavors, such as strawberry or custard. They are enjoyed by many as a festive dessert, bringing joy and sweetness to the celebrations of Hanukkah.
