Fried foods such as doughnuts are often eaten at Hanukkah to remind Jews of the miracle of the oil in the lamp that burned for eight days even though there was only enough oil to last one night. The pudding is a slam dunk. We used regular jelly doughnuts but you can also try using fresh doughnuts from a Polish bakery if you can find them. They are not as sweet as regular jelly doughnuts so you may need to increase the sugar.
