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
16 slices crustless white bread, or if unavailable, regular white bread
8 teaspoons Gefen Peanut Butter, divided
16 teaspoons strawberry jam, divided (I use Tuscanini)
2 eggs
1 and 1/3 cups pareve milk (plus more as necessary)
5 tablespoons sugar
2 and 2/3 cups Glicks Flour
1 and 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons Gefen Peanut Butter, melted
oil, for frying
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, for garnish
4 teaspoons warm strawberry jam, such as Tuscanini, for garnish
Cut all slices of bread with a round cookie cutter that’s approximately the size of the bread.
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.
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.
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.
When done, dust with confectioners’ sugar and drizzle with strawberry jam. For best results, serve immediately.
