Kreppel, also known as Krapfen or Berliner, is a type of sweet pastry popular in various cultures, particularly in Germany and Austria. It is typically made from a yeast dough that is deep-fried until golden brown and then filled with jam, custard, or other sweet fillings. The pastry is often dusted with powdered sugar or glazed for added sweetness. These treats are especially popular during festive seasons, such as Carnival or Fasching, when they are enjoyed as a traditional delicacy. Kreppel can be found in bakeries and cafes, and they are often served at celebrations and gatherings, making them a beloved part of many culinary traditions.
