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?
These have become a firm family favourite! When I'm stuck for an after school meal idea I turn to these hot cakes. Not only does my 4 year old love these with cheese/ham/fruit/honey, he'll also gladly help with the measuring and whisking. Fab!
