I found this recipe on the web. I'm not sure if it's like the ones you've had or not, but they seem like the ones my grandmother made. Fausnachts Makes 50 fausnachts ¼ cup warm water 1 pkg. yeast 2 tbsp. sugar 2½ cups lukewarm milk 4½ cups flour 4 eggs, beaten ½ cup lard, melted 1 cup sugar dash of salt 5 ½ cups flour Dissolve yeast in warm water. Mix next three ingredients together, then add to yeast mixture. Set in warm place and let rise overnight. In the morning add next four ingredients. Add last batch of flour slowly; it may not all be needed. Dough should be sticky but able to be handled. Let rise until doubled, approximately 2 hours. Roll out and cut with biscuit or doughnut cutter, with or without a center hole. Let rise 1 hour. Deep fry in hot oil at 375 degrees for several minutes, turning until brown on both sides. We were from the Steelton, Pa area and not Pa Dutch, so I never knew the tradition of putting syrup on them. Steelton has a large population of Croation & Slovanian people so the culture is a little different than Pa Dutch

The recipe for fausnaughts is very hard, and takes about a whole day to make it. They are not daughnuts, nor pancakes. The are close to doughnuts but are raised with yeast and are pounded down many times.

Just make regular pancakes. That will suffice. Tomorrow is not donut day.
