Fánk (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈfaːŋk]) is a sweet traditional Hungarian donut.[1] The most commonly used ingredients are: flour, yeast, butter, egg yolk,[2] a little bit of rum, salt, milk and oil[2][3] to deep fry with. After the pastry has risen for approximately 30 minutes the result is an extreme light doughnut-like pastry. Fánk is traditionally served with powdered sugar and lekvár, Hungarian thick jams, which mostly consists of apricot jam.[2][3]
