Chanukah. Back home in Cape Town it's a time to get out the Chanukia and buy the little colourful candles to light every night. Here in Israel it's pretty much the same thing except for one BIG difference. Sufganiot. In English that's doughnuts. I would say in all shapes but that's not necessarily true. All sizes and with what feels like a thousand different fillings and toppings however is most certainly the case. Micky had gone out to the Roladin bakery and come home with 6 different doughnuts, none of which were remotely familiar to me. I had a caramel (Dulce de leche) filled doughnut and the boys had Chalva and Orea. The ones pictured here involved squeezing additional liguids (chocolate and rose water) into the centre of these 'shot' chocolate, nougat and Malabi doughnuts. If you have a sweet tooth, these are definitely something to try. I however must admit that I love a plain or apricot jam filled doughnut and don't really need to experiment with every other filling under the sun. The Dulce one though, I did enjoy. Happy Chanukah, and Chag Sameach : )
