A regional delicacy of the city of Polná, these soft, round buns consist of leavened dough that is filled with grated, vanilla-flavored carrots, and occasionally enriched with fennel, anise, poppy seeds, or rum. The buns are traditionally prepared every second Sunday in September, when an important pilgrimage takes place. Allegedly, mrkvance were created due to the abundance of carrots in the area, later becoming an important part of their tradition. They are usually consumed as a snack or a dessert, and it is recommended to serve them dusted with powdered sugar.
