Moroccan Sfinge Donuts For Chanukah!
Tonight on the 8th and final night of Chanukah we enjoyed a Moroccan treat call sfinge, which are basically fried yeast donuts, and perfect for Chanukah, on account of all the oil that is needed to fry them, yikes. In case you are wondering about that cactus in the middle of the donuts, well that happens to be our sugar bowl (of sorts, it actually has a cover as well) and it was a great call by my daughter to place it in the dish as it makes the whole thing look so festive, right?

Mini doughnuts really are just the cutest, and perfect for Hanukkah aren't they? My fourteen year old daughter is now the head baker in our home, and she made these to serve to our houseful of guests this shabbat, and after lighting the menorah for the eighth night of chanukah, just a few hours ago. And no, these aren't what one could call a "healthy treat" but certainly preferable to the fried traditional hanukkah doughnuts!
