jelly doughnut
A sweet yeast pastry fried in fat, often filled with jam. In many regions of Germany, it is also known as a 'Berliner'.
An Fasching isst man in Süddeutschland und Österreich traditionell Krapfen.
During Carnival, people in southern Germany and Austria traditionally eat jelly doughnuts.
The word 'Krapfen' (jelly doughnut) is used mainly in southern Germany and Austria for this pastry. In other parts of Germany, other names are common.
In Wien habe ich einen leckeren Krapfen mit Marillenmarmelade gegessen.
In Vienna, I ate a delicious jelly doughnut with apricot jam.
Krapfen are a traditional sweet treat eaten especially during the Carnival season, also called 'Fasching'. Many bakeries offer them only during this season.
Am Faschingsdienstag gibt es bei uns immer Krapfen.
On Shrove Tuesday, we always have jelly doughnuts.
When people talk about Krapfen, they are often 'mit Marmelade gefüllt' (filled with jam) or 'mit Puderzucker bestreut' (dusted with powdered sugar). These descriptions are very typical.
Ich mag am liebsten Krapfen, die mit Hagebuttenmarmelade gefüllt sind.
My favorite jelly doughnuts are the ones filled with rosehip jam.

'Pfannkuchen' and 'Krapfen' can mean the same sweet yeast pastry that is fried in fat and often filled with jam. This is especially confusing because, depending on the region, 'Pfannkuchen' can also be a completely different sweet dish: a flat batter dish cooked in a pan. 'Krapfen' is clearer for the filled yeast pastry, especially in southern Germany and Austria. If you want to be sure, ask about the region or briefly describe whether you mean the flat dish from the pan or the filled pastry.
