PB&J Sandwich Doughnut

Our family has a tradition where every night of Chanukah we either hunt for a new type or flavor of doughnut or we create one. My kids’ favorite flavor is peanut butter and jelly, but we couldn’t find PB&J doughnuts anywhere…so I created this easy and delicious PB&J
doughnut recipe! I hope your family will enjoy it as much as mine did.

Yields 8 doughnuts

1h 8
Easy Vegetarian Pescatarian Parve

Contains: Peanuts, Egg, Gluten, Wheat

Directions

Prepare the PB&J Sandwich

  1. Cut all slices of bread with a round cookie cutter that’s approximately the size of the bread.

  2. Put one teaspoon peanut butter and two teaspoons jam in the middle of one circular slice of bread, top with another slice, and

    pinch them together with a fork or your fingers, making sure the sandwiches are tightly closed. Repeat with the rest of the bread. Place all sandwiches on a Gefen Parchment Paper-lined baking sheet and

    freeze for a half hour.

Prepare the Batter

  1. Mix all the batter ingredients together in a bowl. This is supposed to be a thick batter, but if it’s too thick, add a drop more pareve milk.

  2. Add the oil to a small saucepan or pot (see tip) and heat it. Dip each PB&J sandwich into the batter and drop it into the hot oil. Fry for about two minutes per side, until they’re golden brown.

  3. When done, dust with confectioners’ sugar and drizzle with strawberry jam. For best results, serve immediately.

Tips:
Deep-fry your doughnuts one at a time in a small pot to avoid wasting so much oil.

Notes:
The sandwiches can be made a few days in advance. Keep them in the freezer
until you’re ready to batter and fry them. Allow them to defrost for about five minutes before using.
