 In Austria, doughnut equivalents are called "Krapfen".They are especially popular during Carneval season (Fasching), and do not have the typical ring shape, but instead are solid and usually filled with apricot jam (traditional) or vanilla cream ("Vanillekrapfen").A second variant, called "Bauernkrapfen", probably more similar to doughnuts, are made of yeast dough, and have a thick outside ring, but are very thin in the middle.
