Happy Fastnacht Day!

In celebration of Mardi Gras, I splurged on a lovely box of fastnachts (not to eat all alone but to share with the office)! Yesterday I read an article in the Patriot News about fastnachts, which inspired me to call the PA Bakery and reserve a dozen to pick up in the morning. I am so glad I called ahead because the bakery was packed this morning! There were some disgruntled patrons and the ladies behind the counter were a bit unorganized but the fastnachts were rolling out the door at a good pace. I ordered 6 with granulated sugar and 6 with powdered sugar. Pillowy and fresh, these are a delight!
