Culinary specialties
In Ramsau are the so-called "evangelische Krapfen" can be found (doughnuts prepared with wheat flour, yeast and butter; the wheat was able to thrive better on the sun-favored high plateau of the predominantly Protestant area), which are more often eaten in the sweet variety, with honey, apricot jam or powdered sugar, whereas the "katholische Krapfen" (prepared from rye flour without yeast and egg; on the shady northern slopes of the Niedere Tauern in the Catholic Enns Valley, only rye could be grown) are eaten mainly in the hearty variety, e.g., with sauerkraut, powdered sauerkraut, or with a variety of other dishes. e.g. with sauerkraut, potatoes or sprinkled with Steirerkas.
