They are very traditional in Germany during carnival!<\/p>\n<p>I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of carnival. This was of course different during my childhood. Growing up in the old town of Heidelberg, we had a carnival parade every year right in front of our house. The apartment was filled with friends, everybody hanging out of the window to catch all the sweets flying around. My dad even let an umbrella on a cord down to get all the goodies for us kids&#8230; it was a blast!<\/p>\n<p>The second loved memory with carnival are Fasnetsk\u00fcchle! As kids we were sitting around the kitchen table in a friends house, and the fresh hot Fasnetsk\u00fcchle couldn&#8217;t come out fast enough! We all indulged them in a minute, so delicious and something we only had for carnival!<\/p>\n<p>I was a bit scared that the taste wouldn&#8217;t be the same after all these years&#8230; but I got the original recipe and they came out exactly the same! So delicious! If you have time, you should give it a try, your family will love you!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9406\" src=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Hefeteig.jpg\" alt=\"Fasnetsk\u00fcchle-Teig\" width=\"345\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Hefeteig.jpg 345w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Hefeteig-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9396\" src=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Teigstreifen.jpg\" alt=\"Fasnetsk\u00fcchle-Teig\" width=\"345\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Teigstreifen.jpg 345w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Teigstreifen-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9398\" src=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Teigrauten.jpg\" alt=\"Fasnetsk\u00fcchle Rauten\" width=\"345\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Teigrauten.jpg 345w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Teigrauten-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9400\" src=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Krapfenteig.jpg\" alt=\"Krapfen Rohlinge\" width=\"345\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Krapfenteig.jpg 345w, https:\/\/madewithaloha.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Krapfenteig-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fresh fried dough can&#8217;t be topped, don&#8217;t you think?

Let the yeast starter sit for about 20 minutes, until it double sized.<\/p>\n<p>Add all the other ingredients and mix it all together. You can use a wooden spoon and your muscles, or of course your kitchen machine&#8230; Let the dough rise to double size again, this will take approx. about 30 minutes \u00a0to 1 hour.<\/p>\n<p>Roll it out and use a &#8220;rolling dough cutter&#8221; (you can see it in the picture above, please comment if you have any idea how to translate this &#8230;) to make little rhombs = &#8220;Fastnetsk\u00fcchle&#8221;. Or a glas to cut out circles for the &#8220;Krapfen&#8221;. Put them on a flour dusted baking tray, cover them with a clean kitchen towel and let them raise a little bit until the fat is hot!<\/p>\n<p>Heat the fat to 170\u00b0 C. I used a deep pan. Add some dough rhombs \/ circles\u00a0at one time and bake covered for 2 minutes. Turn the balls and let again bake for about 2 minutes. Remove from the fat, put on some old bread or paper towel and then roll in sugar or sprinkle with powdered\u00a0sugar. If you want to fill\u00a0them with jam, use\u00a0a thin rod to make a hole right through the Krapfen. Fill them with jam using a piping bag.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it!
