The dough for noodles - always hand made - consists of flour, egg, butter and salt, is rolled out paper-thin and filled and rolled. Then the noodles are cooked in salted water.
The most famous variation is the "Kasnudeln" (filled with cheese, others are filled with meat, bacon or ham).
Krapfen (doughnuts) also come from Carinthia. They are made of yeast dough, deep fried in lard and filled with custard or jam.
