Daily Menu Delicacies 06-01-2024 // SFENJ - A classic Moroccan doughnut, perfect for tea time!
It was after such a long time that I had Sfenj for tea time…
So what is Sfenj!?!
I discovered this delicious fritter when I first travelled to Morocco back in 2015…
Sfenj is a light, spongy ring of dough fried in oil until golden brown and crisp.
It is usually eaten plain, sprinkled with sugar, or soaked in honey and here I even tried it with Nutella! So delicious indeed!
Homemade Sfenj by my wife!
Very popular in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia as well as Libya!
It is a well-known dish in the Maghreb and is traditionally made and sold early in the morning for breakfast or in the late afternoon accompanied by tea.
In Morocco and Algeria, it is known as Sfenj, in Tunisia it is named Bambalouni and Sfinz in Libya.
But loved everywhere!
Simple and easy ingredients…
To make sfenj, you will simply need the following:
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cup warm water
- Vegetable oil, for frying
If you want the full details on the dough recipe, I invite you to check this post I made 6 yrs back where you will find the step by step preparations:
Here my wife is starting to fry the sfenj…
And the sfenj is fried on both side in hot oil.
The frying time is only 1 minutes or so, it becomes brown and crispy quite rapidly.
Delicious Sfenj ready to be enjoyed!
Perfect for tea time!
We had these Sfenjs for our tea time yesterday and they were very delicious. Both kids and adults love them!

Let me know in the comments section below, it would be great to learn more on these delicious fritters from your side…

Hello friend, this recipe is similar to what we call churros around here, the different thing is that in your presentation it is in the shape of a donut, but it looks delicious and crunchy.
The SFENJ
Accompanied with a cup of tea it is sure to be a good combination.
Greetings and blessings!
Oh I love Churros too! Topped with Nutella or simply cinnamon sugar! Yeah, you are right, Sfenj can be compared to Churros to some extent.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Stay blessed
Hola mi querido amigo @progressivechef, un palcer pasar por aquí y saludarte.
Muy deliciosa esta receta que hoy nos compartes del, donut marroquí clásico, perfecto para la hora del té, llamado también Sfenj, el cual es muy popular como bien lo mencionas en Marruecos, Argelia, Túnez y Libia, que bueno contar con esta maravillosa comunidad donde podemos conocer cada día más de la cultura gastronomíca de cada país, gran variedad de platos y comidas deliciosas que podemos hacer en casa 🏡.
Te cuento que en Venezuela también con esa misma preparación hacemos los bien llamados churros, tortitas de harina a la que también se le agregan trozos de tu fruta favorita, plátanos, arándanos, etc, con cualquiera queda bien, se le puede agregar miel 🍯, sirope de chocolate, de fresa 🍓, y quedan muy bien, son excelentes en la mañana o en la tarde como una rica merienda con café ☕ o te.
Como bien lo indicas en tu receta son muy sencillos de hacer y se doran muy rápido, quedan crujientes y deliciosos, mi mamá nos los hacia todas las tardes para la merienda y yo también se los hacia mucho a mis hijos y ellos encantados sobre todo con sirope de chocolate.
Gracias por compartir tu excelente receta y tu explicación detallada de su origen y su preparación. Un abrazo 🤗. Que tengas una excelente tarde.
