Hi Denise,

I think you mean "fastnachts" or "fasnachts". See below for recipes.

Phaed

Fastnachts

1 cake yeast or 1 pkg. dry yeast
1/2 c. shortening
1 egg
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. milk
Enough flour to make soft dough

Scald milk.  When cool, add yeast, shortening and egg.  Add sugar, salt and flour
sifted together.  Work thoroughly until light and smooth.  Put in a warm place
to rise until doubled in bulk.  Roll out on lightly floured board and cut into
strips.  Strips may be tangled or twisted into various shapes.  Let rise again.  
Fry until golden brown and drain on paper towel.

Fastnachts

3/4 c. sweet milk
3 eggs
1/3 c. sugar
3 tbsp. shortening
2 tsp. baking powder
Sprinkle of nutmeg (optional)

Sift flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and sugar together.  Then break in eggs. 
Mix in shortening and milk.  Roll a bit thicker than pie crust.  Make squares.  
Cut strips about 1/2 inch wide lengthwise to within 3/4 inch of the edge of square. 
To tangle, pick up dough by every other strip and give a slight twist.  Fry in deep
fat until brown.  Drain and sprinkle with sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

        Phaed,
      Were you looking for a recipe for apple cider donuts?  I found this
one (below) while looking for peanut sticks.  Still not giving up on peanut
sticks.  Freddie's donuts in buffalo used to be famous for them but closed
in the 80's .  Hope the apple cider donut recipe is useful..
