Sufganiyot (Israeli Jam Doughnuts)
The first recorded recipe for a jam-filled doughnut, Gefüllte Krapfen, can be found in ‘Kuchenmeisterei’ (Mastery of the Kitchen), a German cookbook printed in 1485, but the idea of sufganiyot as a Chanukah treat was the creation of Israel’s labour federation, the Histadrut in the late 1920s.
