Question
What blessing is recited over a doughnut with a little oil?
Answer
Doughnuts made from challah dough, to which sugar and jam are added after baking, and their taste is slightly sweet, and the dough is fried in oil in such a way that the taste of the oil is not noticeable in the dough but only on the outer layer. Ideally, they should be eaten during a meal, and one should intend that the blessing 'hamotzi' covers the doughnuts. A God-fearing person should avoid eating them otherwise. However, if they are eaten outside of a meal, the blessing 'mezonot' and 'al hamichya' is recited, even if a very large quantity is consumed, 'al hamichya' is recited.
