Easy Jelly Doughnuts for Hanukkah
Great for Jr. chefs, let the kids assemble then adult or older kids can fry the dough, kids can dust doughnut with sugar after.
2 containers refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (10 biscuits each)
1/4 cup strawberry jam
2 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Lay out all the biscuits. Using your fingers, flatten slightly. Place an equal amount of jam in the center of half the biscuits, then top each with remaining biscuits. Pinch edges together to seal well.
In a large deep skillet over medium-low heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Cook the donuts in batches 3 to 4 minutes, turning to brown on both sides. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve warm, or allow to cool completely before serving.
**If you prefer, you can top the donuts with a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon instead of the confectioners' sugar
This year the first day of Hanukkah
