Spritzkuchen

Spritzkuchen is a German fried pastry, similar to doughnuts. They are the German version of crullers, said to have originated in Eberswalde as part of carnival celebrations that take place before Lent. In past times supplies of animal fats had to be used up before Lent so they would not spoil and go to waste and spritzkuchen was one of the dishes created to meet this need.[1]
