Yes, Faschingskrapfen, for Mardi Gras. In Vienna they were made filled with jam, usually Apricot, but sometimes Red Raspberry. As a child, there were two occasions when we "had" to have them, New Year's Eve and Fasching or Carnival or Mardi Gras, whatever you want to call it.
Your Krapfen look delicious. In the USA they are called doughnuts and I see that you made several different kinds. Enjoy them, enjoy Carnival and enjoy life! M

Yes, I know that Krapfen was born in Austria and they are filled with jam ( I prefer custard) 🙂 🙂

Thank you Margaret !!! I can't go to Rio de Janeiro (it's too far from me)!! Cheers Pandora
Yesterday , I have made krapfen. I think you call them doughnuts, but I Am not sure. With the same dough you can do also ring-shaped cakes. We use to make them during the Carnival feasts, togheter with Frappe and Castagnole..
In Switzerland we call them berliner and they are usually filled with jam. In South Africa they are called decadent donuts. But only when the vanilla custard and jam drip all over.

They make me think of my childhood home. I grew up in a suburb of Detroit. We had a very large Polish population. I knew it as "fat Tuesday" and ate Paczki (for some reason that is pronounced Punch-key or poon-chki). Best to get them from one of the local Polish bakeries - boy I really want one now 🙂

There must be some ESP going on here -- isn't Mardi Gras on or just over or something like that. Fat Tuesday is Mardi Gras and here, Pandora is making Fat Tuesday donuts? Whooooo. Dee Dee

Me too, I ate them when I was young 🙂 Very yummy food, not to eat every day, ofcourse 🙂 Cheers Pandora

The ones with custard inside look like what we call Bavarian doughnuts (from the local bakery). Ring doughnuts, fresh-cooked and dredged in sugar and cinnamon, you can sometimes get from a "van" or from fairground stalls, depending on area. Both types are sheer indulgence 🙂
