    Buñuelos!
    - typically consist of a simple, wheat-based yeast dough, often flavored with anise, that is thinly rolled, cut or shaped into individual pieces, then fried and finished off with a sweet topping. Buñuelos may be filled with a variety of things, ranging from cheese to yams. They can be round in ball shapes or disc shaped. (wiki)

    My Grandma makes them Disk Shape, they are kind of like a Fried Flour Tortilla. Sprinkle sugar on it and hmm hmmmm!

    adorable episode!

  19. AClumsySheep Says:

    is there any good /useable substitute for matzo meal?

  20. missavaricebliss Says:

    We used yukon gold potatoes and the latkes turned out great! We also added some cinnamon to the applesauce. A whole bag of potatoes only fed 5 people! If I did it again, I would use my electric skillet to fry lots of them at once because we were frying latkes for over an hour!

  23. shorgeeborgee Says:

    our traditional meal is matzo ball soup made from scratch it is a recipe that has been in the family for 5 generations can’t go into detail it is a family secret, but the soup stock is homemade and the matzo balls are just the perfect texture between a soft and a hard we also make blintzes from scratch and noodle kugel all family recipe we also have a recipe for cow tongue but we rarely have it because dad hates cow tongue anyway have a happy 7th night of hanukkah oh and sorry I prefer donuts

  24. punkypoof Says:

    i love you guys, but the way you peel veg scares the shit out of me, hold the veg or fruit properly and pull the peeler towards you, saves you cutting your fingers or knuckles, just a thought….x

  25. debbiestacked Says:

    not going to lie, I have a pretty big crush on max. love the witty t-shirts.

    in the Hanukkah spirit, you guys should make sufganiyot :D
