But with a big difference to our doughnuts, which are prepared with eggs, butter, and milk. Sfenj is made traditionally with only a few ingredients of flour, yeast, lukewarm water, and a touch of sugar and salt.<\/p>\n The name Sfenj comes from the Arabic Isfenj, which means sponge since Sfenj soak themselves up with oil during baking. If you have any sfenj left over, flatten them and fry them a second time. This version is called sfenj matifiyya in Morocco. Or flatten them and add an egg, then they are called Sfenj matifiyya bil-baydh.<\/p>\n Today is National Doughnut\/Doughnut Day<\/a><\/strong>, and Zora<\/strong> from the blog Kochtopf.me<\/strong><\/a> has invited us to bake doughnuts together, as she does every year.

A baker accidentally dropped a ball of dough in hot fat and that’s how Sfenj was created. An Andalusian verse says: “Sfenj bakers are worth as much as kings”. The Moroccan doughnut is not only popular in Morocco, but also in Libya, where they are called sfinz and like to be dipped in date syrup. In Libya, they also prepared in a savory version with a fried egg in the middle and topped with cheese. They are also very popular in Tunisia, where they are called bambalouni. In Algeria, they are called khfaf or ftayr. In Israel, they are eaten on Hanukkah. Sfenj has even made it to France, where they are used as inspiration for beignets.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/labsalliebe.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/Sfenj-Marokkanische-Donuts-4-683x1024.jpeg\")
