Description

Easy air fryer sufganiyot made with a quick stovetop dough. No yeast, no deep frying. Jam-filled Hanukkah donuts dusted in powdered sugar and ready in about 25 minutes.

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup seedless strawberry jam
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water, butter, and salt to a rolling boil.
  • Add the flour all at once and stir until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball.
  • Remove from the heat and cool for about 10 minutes, until warm but not hot.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time until the dough is smooth and glossy.
  • Line the air fryer basket with parchment. Drop tablespoon-size mounds of dough about 1 inch apart.
  • Air fry at 350°F for 15 minutes, until deep golden brown and hollow. Work in batches.
  • Cool until easy to handle, then fill each donut with about 2 teaspoons of jam and dust with powdered sugar.

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Electric hand mixer (optional; you can beat the eggs in by hand)
  • Small cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • Air fryer parchment liners
  • Squeeze bottle or piping bag with a filling tip
  • Fine-mesh sieve for dusting powdered sugar
