History is a little vague but I believe my grandmother's parents immigrated from Germany to the U.S. and she was born here. She used to make what she called "futchens" in the mornings when we went to visit. They were about the size of a ping-pong ball, deep fried, had raisins in them and little nubs of dough sticking out. We would break them open and dip them in granular sugar and they were just the best thing. I can't find "futchens" on the internet but found this [krapfen]( https://germangirlinamerica.com/rheinische-ol-krapfen-new-year/) recipe that is pretty close taste- and texture-wise. They're a little harder and denser than I remember but that could be my baking/frying technique. I'll post a picture in the comments. The picture is really close to what my grandmother made but I remember the interior being more yellow. Appreciate any ideas. Thanks!
bon appetit
