Karpatka is also known as a Carpathian mountain cake, named after the Karpaty mountain range. The dough (in this case a choux pastry) creates the effect of mountains, and the icing sugar on top represents the snow.

Can I Make The Chocolate Chip Cookies Without Eggs?
I have been making this recipe for years and it never fails. In the summer it's great with a green salad, and in the winter I serve it with mashed carrot and swede. It's funny how a lot of Nigella's recipes stand the test of time.
