Farfel-Potato Dairy Soup Recipe
2 Tablespoons vegan butter or margarine

3 cups hot water
1-1/2 to 2 cups peeled and diced (1/2 inch cubes) "new" potatoes or all purpose potatoes (about 2 medium-sized potatoes)
2/3 cups farfel
3/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of ground white pepper
1 cup instant dry plant milk powder
1 cup cool water
In a 2-1/2-quart or larger saucepan, over medium-high heat, melt the butter; then cook the onion, stirring, until it is tender but not browned. Add the hot water, raise the heat to high, and bring the water to a boil. Stir in the potato cubes, barley-shaped noodles, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat and simmer the soup, covered, for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Mix together the milk powder and cool water until smooth. Stir this into the hot soup and continue heating until it simmers, about 2 minutes longer. Serve hot.
Note: This soup gets thicker upon standing. When reheating leftovers, stir in some milk or water if the soup is too thick.

Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then cover and simmer 3 hours, until the meat is very tender. Stir in the raisins, set the lid to the pot slightly askew, and simmer 20 minutes. Taste, correct the seasoning, adding additional salt and pepper as necessary.
Serve the soup with boiled potatoes, a side of meat accompanied by a good strong horseradish, and dark bread.

Vegan Hanukkah Desserts
Butter Cookie Dreidels
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour lightly sprinkled into measuring cup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chilled vegan butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon water
1 egg substitute
Preheat the oven to 350° F, with racks in the middle and lower third of the oven. Have two nonstick cookie sheets available.
Place the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor bowl. Process for a few seconds to mix the dry ingredients.
Cut the butter into 1/2-inch chunks and scatter on top of the flour. Pulse-process until the butter is cut into the flour so that the mixture looks like coarse meal.
In a small bowl, combine the vanilla extract, water, and egg. Whisk lightly to blend. With the processor running, add the egg mixture through the feed tube. Continue to process until the dough just starts to clump together. If the dough is too dry to come together, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time. The dough won't ball up in the bowl, but it should start to clump, and should come into a ball with the heat of your hands as you push it together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Roll the dough (I like to roll in a floured jumbo zip top bag) to a scant 1/8 inch thick. Cut with a dreidel-shaped cookie cutter, and place on the cookie sheets. Bake for 5 minutes, switch the cookie sheets top to bottom, and bake another 4 to 7 minutes, until the edges are just starting to brown. Remove the cookies from the pan, and cool them on a wire rack.
For the icing, sift the powdered sugar Into a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk and vanilla until smooth. The icing should be very thick but thin enough to spread. If it is not thin enough, add more milk by the 1/2 teaspoonful until the icing is the right consistency. Spread the cookies with icing (a small decorating spatula works best). If you are going to use sprinkles, sprinkle them on while the icing is still wet so they will stick well. If not using sprinkles, let the icing dry. Add color to the remaining icing (I like to use a rich blue) and paint on the dreidel letters using a fine artist's brush. For a great-looking accent, sprinkle small, fine sprinkles, such as multicolored tiny balls, on the wet lettering (larger sprinkles, such as chocolate sticks, will obscure the letters). If you prefer, the dreidel letters can be painted on un-iced cookies. In all cases, let the decorations dry before storing the cookies.
Icing:
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup vegan margarine
1/8 cup vanilla plant milk, or water
food coloring, if want color
Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, blend until creamy.
Cookies can be made 1 day ahead, or frozen for up to 3 months. Makes about 50 cookies
Chanukah-Shaped Cookies
1 cup vegan butter
2 egg substitutes
2 tablespoons orange juice, with no VD3
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Chanukah cookie cutters (shaped like menorah, dreidel, candle)
Sprinkles (optional)
Mix ingredients well. Wrap in wax paper and chill for at least an hour. Roll out dough until 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. Cut with Chanukah cookie cutters. Decorate with sprinkles (optional). Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 450° F for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
Gelt Fudge
3 cups vegan chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed plant milk or vegan original creamer
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup vegan butter
Combine chocolate chips and condensed milk in bowl and heat in microwave for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. If more time is required, continue heating in microwave in increments of 10 seconds. Add vanilla and salt and stir. Spread into a dish lined with waxed paper. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour. Cut fudge into desired shapes and wrap in foil. Refrigerate fudge until ready to eat.
Vanilla Cream Sufganiyot
1 1/4-oz. envelope dry baker's yeast
1/8 cup warm water
3/4 cup lukewarm vanilla plant milk
3/8 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg substitute
3 Tbsp. vegan butter
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour divided
4 cups canola oil
1 cup vegan heavy whipping cream
1/4 package instant vegan vanilla pudding powder
Powdered sugar
Sprinkle yeast over water and let stand 5 minutes or until foamy. Combine yeast mixture, soy milk, granulated sugar salt egg margaine, and 1 cup of flour and mix for about 3 minutes with an electric mixer at low speed.
Beat in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough no longer sticks to bowl. Place dough on floured surface and knead for about 4 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise until double in bulk, about 1 hours.
Turn dough onto floured surface and gently roll out to 1/2-inches thickness. Cut into circles with a cookie cutter. Let rise again until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes.
In a large pot, heat oil to 350 degrees F. Carefully place doughnuts in the hot oil. Turn over when first side is medium golden brown, about 4 minutes. Make sure oil is not too hot; otherwise will cook before the inside is done. Allow to cool.
In a cold bowl, beat whipping cream until not completely until not completely stiff. Sprinkle in pudding powder and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fill doughnuts with 1-2 Tbsp. of the mixture by cutting a small slit in the side and inserting the cream with a baby spoon. Sprinkle with sifted powered sugar.

Hanukkah Cheese Gelt Coins
Veganized Hanukkah Cheese Gelt Coins
2 cups vegan Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup vegan butter or margarine
1 cup all-purpose unbleached white flour
1 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Sesame seeds
Place vegan cheese, vegan butter, flour, vegan Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade (or a heavy-duty mixer). Blend until a dough forms. Divide dough in half and shape each into a log about 1 inch in diameter and 12 inches long. Roll logs in sesame seeds to coat. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick foil.
Slice dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place on prepared baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned and firm. Let rest for 5 minutes and move to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
Note: You can freeze the logs of dough after wrapping. Let thaw slightly in the refrigerator before cutting to bake, but be sure the dough remains cold enough to slice. Yields about 7 dozen cheesy gelt coin wafers
