Sfenj

Cultural Context

Sfenj, traditional Moroccan doughnuts, are often enjoyed during festive occasions and gatherings. Their unique texture, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, makes them a beloved treat. While they are typically served plain or with a sprinkle of sugar, variations exist, and they have gained popularity beyond Morocco, appearing in various Middle Eastern and North African cuisines.
