'''Krofne''' ([Albanian](/source/Albanian_language) and {{langx|hr|krafne}}; [Bosnian](/source/Bosnian_language) and {{lang-sr-Latn|krofne}}, {{lang-sr-cyr|крофне}}; [Romanian](/source/Romanian_language): crofne; {{langx|sl|krofi}}; {{langx|mk|крофни}}) are airy filled [doughnut](/source/doughnut)s. They are round and usually filled with [jelly](/source/Jelly_(fruit_preserves)), [marmalade](/source/marmalade), [jam](/source/jam) or [chocolate](/source/chocolate) as well as butter, [Nutella](/source/Nutella) and cinnamon. They can also be filled with [custard](/source/custard), or [cream](/source/cream), but that is usually less common. The name comes from German ''[Krapfen](/source/Berliner_(doughnut))'', and it is a variation of the Central European pastry known as the [Berliner](/source/Berliner_(pastry)). They are also similar to [beignet](/source/beignet)s.

The recipe for homemade krofne includes [yeast](/source/Baker's_yeast), [milk](/source/milk), [sugar](/source/sugar), [flour](/source/flour), salt, [butter](/source/butter), [eggs](/source/Egg_(food)), [rum](/source/rum), [lemon peel](/source/lemon_peel), [marmalade](/source/marmalade) and [powdered sugar](/source/powdered_sugar). The dough is kneaded and prepared and then cut into small pieces, then made into a little ball, making it easier to cook.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.recepti.hr/recepti/jela/krafne-2 | language = hr | publisher = recepti.hr | author = Branko Ognjenović | title = Krafne | access-date = 2011-08-03}}</ref>

In Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia, the consumption of krafne, or krofi, increases significantly during the yearly winter festival of [Carnival](/source/Carnival). In Croatia, they are served on New Year's Day as a good-luck token as well as for prosperity,{{citation needed|date=July 2016}} as well as for other holidays such as Easter and Christmas.
