These Fastnachts are a little time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort. They're so delicious and they always disappear quickly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Fastnachts turned out really greasy. I think I might have added too much oil to the dough.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Fastnachts didn't turn out as good as I hoped. They were a little dry and the flavor was bland.

These Fastnachts were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of doughnuts, but these Fastnachts were amazing. They were so light and fluffy, and the powdered sugar coating was the perfect touch.
