an extremely light pastry. Fánk is usually served with powdered sugar and lekvar. It is supposed that Fánk pastry is of the same origin as German Berliner, Dutch oliebol, and Polish pączki. Italy Italian doughnuts include ciambelle, krapfen from Trentino-Alto Adige, zippuli or zeppole from Calabria and Campania, maritozzi from Latium, above all Rome, bomboloni from Tuscany, frittelle from Veneto and many others.
