Sfinz (Arabic: سفنز) is a Libyan doughnut. It is prepared with a flour dough fried in oil. Sfinz is eaten sprinkled with sugar or soaked in honey or date molasses.[1] It can be eaten for Friday breakfast or for afternoon tea.[1] Though it is eaten year-round,[2] it is especially popular during the winter months and around Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr.[3] It is the Libyan version of the sfenj[4] doughnuts that are widely popular across the other countries of the Arab Maghreb.[5]
Sfinz can also be prepared with a fried egg in the center.[3] The egg can be runny or hard, and is often topped with cheese.[5][2]
