Sufganiyot donuts are a popular Jewish dessert, especially during the festival of Hanukkah. These donuts are sweet, fluffy, and deep-fried, making them a crowd-pleaser. Traditionally filled with jelly or other sweet spreads, Sufganiyot are often served warm and rolled in sugar or powdered sugar.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, eggs, yogurt, white sugar, salt, and vanilla sugar until a soft dough forms.
2.	Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm, dry area for 10-15 minutes.
3.	Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F.
4.	Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully drop dollops of dough into the hot oil, frying a few at a time until they turn golden brown on each side.
5.	Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to cool.
6.	Roll the donuts in granulated sugar or confectioners' sugar and serve warm.
