I am looking for a recipe for a square yeast doughnut with raisins that my mother always made the evening of Shrove Tuesday. (The day before Ash Wednesday).
The doughnut is fried in the fryer and then put in a bag of sugar to coat it.
That was the only day they were made. I would love to bring this tradition back into my family.
My family comes from a town near Karlsruhe, Germany. If that helps any.

Hi Karen,
This doesn't sound at all familiar with me. I've tried all sorts of pronunciation for the Kiek-al-kee but it could be in one of the many dialects that are throughout Germany.
Even though your family comes from the area around Karlsruhe, it's possible that ancestors long ago came from one of the other countries surrounding Germany and this recipe came with them.
It does sound delicious though! I love recipes that are tied to holidays and just kept for those occasions.
I hope someone recognizes this and is able to help you.
Blessings,
Gerhild

Pop right over to my private Facebook group, the Kaffeeklatschers. You'll find thousands of German foodies, all eager to help and to talk about all things German, especially these yummy foods.
I pop in all the time as well, to chat and to answer questions.
Meet with us around Oma's table, pull up a chair, grab a coffee and a piece of Apfelstrudel, and enjoy the visit.
These roasted Brussels spouts with balsamic vinegar and maple syrup are so quick and easy to prepare, yet so delicious! This may just be your new favorite go-to recipe for roasted FROZEN Brussels spro…
Love German cabbage rolls? You'll absolutely love Oma's unstuffed cabbage roll casserole. Same great taste, but a LOT less work. No rice or tomatoes here. Just real German goodness.
