Directions
Prepare the dough: Place the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, butter and orange zest in a mixer bowl and start kneading. Add the eggs and milk and continue kneading until a soft, sticky dough forms. Transfer dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled. Roll into
smooth, 55-gram balls, cover and rest 30 minutes. Heat oil to 365°F (185°C).
Make the fillings: Using a hand mixer, cream the peanut butter with cream cheese and butter. When smooth, add powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Mix until silky. Place in a piping bag. Place strawberry jam in a separate piping bag.
Fry: Fry the sufganiot on their parchment squares until they release and turn golden. Transfer to a cooling rack and rest 10 minutes.
Fill and finish: Pinch two holes in each sufganiyah. Fill one side with peanut butter cream and the other with jam. Dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve!
