Fastnachts are a staple of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine, but these donuts are truly meant to be enjoyed by everyone. Served on Shrove Tuesday, Fastnachts are a type of donut made with lard, sugar, fat, and butter—with some bakeries using potatoes. Choose from powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or plain. Pro tip: get there early or order ahead—many bakeries run out by noon. Try this Pennsylvania Dutch specialty from one of these local bakeries.
