I like homemade better. I buy Baker's Choice custard and put in a lot ,its delicous but I'm not sure I'll get to make this year w/ a teething/cranky baby around. But when I do, I fry it in a 9 by 13 or roaster aluminum pan (doubled-to make it thicker) so the mess goes in the garbage.

Home made, for sure! It's part of Chanukah in our house.
But I never thought of frying it in a disposable pan. Sounds like a great idea. Thanks!

I make one or two nights, but buy for the rest.
It's def. worth the little I do make.

Every night I make something else special for chanukah.
cheese latkes, potato latkes, malawach, donuts, deep fried chicken nuggets (for shabbos lunch),

A few points as we used to own a bakery.

If you don't want them to go stale use dry yeast and as little egg0 as possible. Most store bought bakegoods have no egg at all.

The oil used is canola because it is the least absorbed and lasts the longest.

In Israel if if someone is really worried about least unhealthy Brera Tivit usually sells ww filled with date butter and they are soft and pretty good.

I'd never think of making.... I'd never be able to beat our bakeries heavy custard filling w/ caramel choc. ontop!! We don't even think about calories or if it's healthy or not. C'mon, it's chanuka!

my mother has a few recipes left from a cookbook made for bakeries.
This is what it says.
A donut dough does need all of the following, but LESS than other doughs: shortening, sugar, eggs.
These 3 ingredients are vital in the success of donut-making.


In general, about bakeries, (my mother had a bakery) most items are made with egg liquid or egg powder. Challos are made with egg coloring.

We used no egg for bread/rolls or pizza and sambusak. We used almost none for cake/cookies/donuts. Suffies are not like reg donuts. Israeli bakeries often do not use egg in them. The egg powder and liquid are used in larger scale than us. We only sold ion 5 yishuvim.
