Makes 12 sufganiyot

INGREDIENTS

  • 200g lactose free yogurt
  • 3 TBSP Israeli honey
  • 1 tbsp yeast
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 cup all purpose gluten free flour (Molino gree, K’ragil, Tami, Better Batter)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • ½ tsp orange zest
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Oil for frying - I use half olive oil, half sunflower

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix together all of the ingredients, starting on a low speed until combined. Then beat well for 9 minutes.
  2. Scoop from the outside of the bowl inward to create a ball. Transfer to well oiled bowl and cover all sides of the ball in oil. Rest for 2-3 hrs. Can be refrigerated, allow to come to temperature plus added rising time before working with the dough.
  3. Using well-oiled hands, or an ice cream scoop, take a ball of the dough - it will be sticky but pliable. Pro-tip: turn the ball “inside out” creating a hole in the middle for the filling. Roll well with hands to form a ball - will not be perfect and will expand to its own beautiful golden goodness in the fryer.
  4. Heat your oil in a deep pot. Fry on a low flame until golden brown on all sides.

BTEAVON and ENJOY!
