I'm not a fan of jelly filling, so I used a different filling instead. The Fastnachts were still delicious!

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my Fastnachts didn't rise very much. They were still tasty, though.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Fastnachts turned out flat and greasy. I'm going to have to try again.

These Fastnachts were a little denser than I expected, but they were still delicious. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
