A sufganiyah (Hebrew: סופגנייה or סופגניה; plural sufganiyot: סופגניות) is a round jelly doughnut eaten in Israel and around the world on the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. The doughnut is deep-fried filled with jelly or custard and then topped with powdered sugar. At Hanukkah Jewish people observe the custom of eating fried foods in commemoration of the miracle associated with the Temple oil.
