Sugar Kichelach are a delicious tradition originating from Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, very popular in Latin American communities and other parts of the world. This small sweet, also known as "Kichlach" or "Kiklach" in some countries, is a type of fried cookie or bun that is often enjoyed during special celebrations like Purim or on Shabbat. In different Latin American regions, variants can be found under similar names or even with slight changes in preparation, but always maintaining their essence of a thin dough and a crunchy texture with a sweet touch. Their origin dates back to Eastern Europe, where housewives would prepare these treats to share with the family, and over time, the recipe adopted local ingredients and techniques.
