It’s only natural that these jam-filled doughnuts fried in oil would be popular during Hanukkah.
This version has a touch of whole-wheat pastry flour and is flavored with cardamom and orange zest.
Meanwhile, whisk all-purpose flour, pastry flour, sugar, salt and cardamom in a large bowl.
Make a well in the center; add eggs, the yeast mixture, butter and orange zest.
Using a wooden spoon, stir until a sticky dough forms.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
Set in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Roll the dough on a lightly floured work surface to a 1/4-inch thickness.
Reroll the dough 2 to 3 more times to cut a total of 18 circles.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully place 4 or 5 rounds into the hot oil.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the doughnuts to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining rounds.
Using a wooden skewer or chopstick, make a hole in the side of each doughnut.
Pipe about 1 teaspoon jam into each doughnut.
Dust the tops with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.
