This type of donut is commonly prepared at home and eaten as dessert or as an afternoon snack. They are less compact than regular donuts, have no hole inside them and are at their best when freshly cooked, but the dough can be made for several batches and kept refrigerated for several days.

It is interesting to note that similar donuts are prepared in Roumania under the name of "scovarge" except that they are shaped into rectangles and served with plum marmelade.
