Elite Jakob

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 4 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups plain low-fat yogurt (or kefir)
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 cups canola oil approximately for frying
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
  • Strawberry jelly for filling, optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla and yogurt in a bowl. Slowly whisk in enough of the flour to form a thick batter. Allow batter to rest about 10 minutes.
  • Place oil in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan (you want about 2 inches of oil in the pan) and heat to 325F. With a teaspoon, drop small mounds of batter into the hot oil and cook 3 to 4 minutes, turning the sufganiyot with the spoon or a slotted spatula, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a plate lined with paper towel.
  • While still warm, place on a platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
