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 One Large Version Of The Little Lemon Puddings?
There aren’t many weeks where we don’t make this soup. Cold weather, warms you up. Hot weather, helps bear the heat. Feeling poorly, picks you up. Stressed out, soothes the soul. Having a great day, just adds to the joy.
We love this recipe.
