Hanukkah festivities are all about embracing tradition with a touch of innovation. Elevate your celebration with a modern twist on the classic jelly donut. In this blog post, I’ll guide you through the process of making air-fried jelly donuts using Pillsbury Grands biscuits, allowing you to add your favorite jam or jelly after the biscuits are cooked, ensuring a burst of flavor in every bite.
Why jelly donuts on Hanukkah?
Jelly donuts, known as sufganiyot in Hebrew, are a traditional Hanukkah treat. They are deep-fried and often filled with jelly or other sweet fillings. The significance lies in the oil used for frying, symbolizing the miracle of the oil in the Hanukkah story where a small amount of oil lasted for eight days in the temple menorah.
Ingredients:
Pillsbury Grands biscuits (1 can)
Jam or jelly of your choice (strawberry, raspberry, or grape work well)
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1. Gather Your Ingredients:
Ensure you have all your ingredients ready to create a delightful combination of flaky biscuit dough, sweet fruit filling, and a finishing touch of powdered sugar.
2. Preheat Your Air Fryer:
Set your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) and allow it to preheat. This ensures your biscuits cook evenly and achieve a golden-brown perfection.
3. Air Fry the Biscuits:
Separate the Pillsbury Grands biscuits and lay them out on a clean surface. Flatten each biscuit as instructed on the package. Air fry the biscuits 6-8 minutes or until they reach a golden-brown color.
4. Cool and Create a Pocket:
Allow the air-fried biscuits to cool slightly. Once cooled, use a small knife to create a pocket in each biscuit by gently cutting a slit into the side, being careful not to cut through entirely.
5. Fill with Jelly:
Take your favorite jam or jelly and carefully inject it into each biscuit pocket. Ensure an even distribution of the fruity goodness, allowing the biscuit to soak up the flavors.
6. Dust with Powdered Sugar:
After injecting the jelly, dust the air-fried jelly donuts generously with powdered sugar. This adds a touch of sweetness and a visually appealing finish.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Present your jelly-filled donuts on a festive platter. These delightful treats are ready to be enjoyed by family and friends. The combination of the flaky biscuit and the burst of fruity jelly creates a memorable Hanukkah experience.
This Hanukkah, savor the best of both worlds with air-fried jelly donuts that combine tradition with a modern twist. Share these delectable treats as a symbol of the joy and innovation that make the Festival of Lights truly special.
