Passover Doughnuts Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water, salt, sugar and oil to a boil.
• Stir in matzo meal.
• Remove from flame, cool slightly.
• Beat in eggs, one at a time.
• Grease hands and roll dough into balls 2- inches in diameter.
• Sprinkle tops with mixture of sugar and cinnamon (and nuts).
• Dip finger in cold water and press a hole in center of each ball.
• Place on greased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for one hour.

Steps:

• 1. Mix together the matzahs, currants, almonds, apricots, egg yolks, matzah meal, sugar, lemon rind, and lemon juice.
• 2. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the matzah mixture, adding matzah meal to make the mixture hold together.
• 3. Using an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees. Drop the mixture by tablespoons and brown a few minutes on each side until they are crisp. Cook only about three at a time. Drain well on paper. Serve at room temperature or crisped up in the oven. The fritters are especially delicious with stewed prunes with orange juice as an accompaniment, if desired.
• Note: You can make these in the morning, drain on paper, leave out all day, and crisp in the oven just before serving.

Steps:

• Gently melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix together.
• Once combined, take off the heat and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, half of the sugar, baking powder and salt with a fork.
• Make a well in the center and pour in the butter mixture. Combine gradually until a thick dough forms.
• Using your hands, roll dough into little flat balls and with your thumb, press a hole in the center of each doughnut. (You may need to flour your hands for this part to avoid getting sticky!)
• Heat up oil in a pan. To know when it's hot enough, fry a little bit of bread in the oil. If it goes brown and floats to the top, in 45-50 seconds the oil will be ready!
• Gently lay the doughnuts into the oil using a spatula. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
• Transfer the doughnuts onto some tissue paper to soak up any excess oil.
• Roll the doughnut into a bowl of the remaining half of sugar.
• Enjoy!
