Well they're not like western/American doughnuts thank goodness, but looking at the article on Pączki they're basically similar to those in all but name (although also known as the derivative פּאָנטשקעס, pontshkes). That article suggest Sufganiyot is just a modern name for them. Hakluyt bean (talk) 16:45, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To put it more graphically, an American doughnut is ring-shaped -- fried ring of dough with a hole in the center. The Israeli/Jewish sufganiya is ball-shaped -- a fried ball of yeast dough, generally with a jam filling. From personal experience I can say that the basic taste of the dough (ignoring the jam filling) is also quite different. --Zlerman (talk) 17:01, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Jelly Donuts or any filled donut in the U.S. are not ring shaped. Only frosted and plain donuts are ring shaped. So, I too would like to know if there is a difference between a sufganiyah and a jelly donut. My bet is that they are the same. 69.122.122.147 (talk) 07:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC)AR[reply]
