No carnival without juicy Americans, because they are the perfect snack for all jesters. With their colorful decorations made of icing, chocolate or colorful sprinkles, they bring color to the carnival and put a smile on everyone's face.
With icing and chocolate, the simple recipe for juicy Americans is a delight for young and old. Swabian Fasnetsküchle are the southern German answer to Berliners, donuts and the like. In the former GDR the pastry was officially known as “Ammonbookie”, which can be attributed to the raising agent ammonium hydrogen carbonate.
