🇲🇦 Morocco recipe

Sfenj

Morocco's beloved street doughnut, sfenj are rings of elastic, yeasted dough plunged into hot oil until they puff up golden and crispy on the outside while remaining wonderfully chewy within. Sold by street vendors from early morning, sfenj are torn apart by hand and enjoyed plain, dusted with sugar, or drizzled with honey alongside a glass of mint tea.
