German Bow Donuts Recipe

Hi, thank you in advance for this website. In particular, the lost recipe tab.

In the 70's my Oma came to Canada and made many great desserts. Two of them I do not have a recipe for. One of them are what she called bow donuts. I remember she rolled out the dough and cut it in triangles with a slit cut in the middle. Then she would pull one end of the dough through the hole and make a bow. They were then fried until they were golden brown. They were then sprinkled with icing sugar and devoured. Yummy!

The other recipe resembled perogies. My Oma would stuff them with potato,sauerkraut and fried onions. They probably are perogies. She also made us ones filled with fruit. She would stuff them with peaches, berries and sweet cheese. Then she would pan fry them in bread crumbs and sugar.

Thanks in advance for all your help.
Much appreciated.
