Preparation
 
Sufganiyot are small, jelly-filled doughnuts traditionally served in
Israel during Hanukkah. The doughnuts are fried in oil, symbolizing
the miracle that occurred when one day s worth of sacred oil burned
for eight days when the Maccabees returned to their ransacked temple
in Jerusalem some 2,100 years ago.

1. Place margarine and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over
medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Stir in flour and sugar. Cook,
stirring vigorously, just until mixture forms a ball. Remove from
heat.

2. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir until smooth and well-blended.

3. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over high heat until it reaches 380
degrees as measured on a deep-fat frying thermometer. Adjust heat
while making pastries to maintain the 380-degree temperature.

4. Carefully drop batter by slightly rounded tablespoonfuls into hot
oil. Fry until puffed and golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes.

5. Using a slotted spoon, remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

6. Fill a pastry bag, fitted with a filling tip, with preserves.
Insert tip into each doughnut and squeeze about 1/2 tablespoon of
filling into each.

7. Dust with confectioners sugar and serve. Sufganiyot do not store
well, so are best eaten the day they are made.
