Chanukah is almost around the corner and I wanted to start making some sufganiot. Anyone have some good recipes? I plan on making it as an activity with some kids so I dont want it to be too complicated. Just looking for a simple recipe. Thank you!
2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk or 1 1/2 cups soymilk
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
6 tablespoons shortening or 6 tablespoons margarine
5 cups flour (sifted for bugs)
oil, for deep frying
1 (13 1/2 ounce) jar strawberry jelly (or other fruit jelly)
confectioners’ sugar
Directions:
Prep Time: 1 hr
Total Time: 1 hr
1 Sprinkle yeast over warm water and let stand five minutes or until foamy.
2 In a large bowl, mix together the yeast mixture, milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and two cups flour. Mix for a few minutes at low speed.
3 Beat in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Knead for about five minutes or until smooth and elastic.
4 Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about an hour or a bit longer.
5 Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into circles. Let rise again until doubled in bulk.
6 Heat 4 cups of oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350. Carefully slide doughnuts into hot oil using a wide spatula. Turn the doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Doughnuts are ready when both sides are golden brown.
7 Fill with 1 T jelly using a pastry injector, or by cutting a small slit in the side of the doughnut and inserting the jelly with a baby spoon. Close tightly; roll in confectioners’ sugar.
(I made these once and they came out good. If you have any questions, ask away. Hope they aren’t to complicated to make with kids.)
Yes, they rise again after being shaped. (The top of a glass is great for that.)
Good luck!
anyone have a good recipe for a mini donut maker?

I would think any recipe would work but start out with just a few. Cake batter would probably work too.
Do I have to separate the donut dough?
I don’t understand the question.
For fillings, you could try custard or caramel and (this ones off the top of my head) if they’re big enough, some pie filling (not too much or it’ll get too heavy). You could also dust the top with cinnamon and powdered sugar. If you’re interested in doing more of a test recipe you can try adding blueberries (like you would to a muffin, coated in a little flour) but be prepared for a purple donut.

Do you mean like taking challah?

I believe taking challah starts at 9 or 10 cups (without a bracha) but ask your LOR.
your local bakery
You can fill donuts with the filling they sell to make lemon meringue pie. Or just inject some seedless raspberry jam, apple pie filling, or such.
