Diets 
There is a tradition to eat foods fried in oil on Chanukah in commemoration of the miracle of the oil lamp, and there is also a tradition to eat dairy foods in honor of Judith, who put an enemy general to sleep by feeding him cheeses that made him thirsty and then plying him with wine; once he was asleep, she killed him. Why not combine the two customs with this dairy doughnut?
1 pound farmer cheese
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon Haddar Baking Powder
3–4 cups flour
Combine all ingredients. Knead until smooth and let rest for 10 minutes.
Cut into circles with floured rim of glass.
Roll to half-inch thickness.
Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown. Cool.
Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar.
