    Once a year I make sure they walk right out of my kitchen to pose. ;-)

    Alan,
    yes, they are filled with finest apricot jam, made by the Darbo company. ;-)

  5. Margarita,
    I found this recipe online:
    Sacher's Viennese Carneval Donuts (I use 50g of dough for each donut).

    Annechung:
    I have seen cream-filled donuts in bakeries!
    I love them the traditional way (even though I learned to make them, through many trials and errors, in Washington, DC).

  6. Is it that time again, already?

    Perhaps it means that Spring is coming!

  10. Lindsay @ our view from Wien:
    Funny thing, I learned the hard way how to make them, back in Washington, DC - only because there were no Krapfen available there. When I moved to Vienna, the first year I let Fat Tuesday pass without making Krapfen, simply bought them at the bakery. Did not feel the same. Made my own on Ash Wednesday. ;-)

  12. Merisi - wenn ich nur könnte (sigh!).

  15. Ellee,
    I'd say "crap-faen" - I have some in my freezer, but am not allowed to eat them. ;-)

    Hexe,
    das wär' zu schön, nicht wahr?
    I could offer you a cup of tea and Krapfen by the open window - you'd love the icy draft! ;-)

    Paz,
    thanks! :-)

  16. Oh, perfection Merisi! I would pass on every chocolate in the world to eat one of these babies. They are a miracle! (And alot of hard work.)
