What is Berliner?

Berliner is a type of pastry that includes frying sweet dough in fat or oil, filling with a syringe and covering with powder sugar. In English -speaking countries, items are known as the jelly donuts. Other countries can also use different names for this dessert, for example in Australia and Britain. In Portugal, the use of the term "Berlin" prevails, translated to "Bolas de Berlim" - many of these versions of the donut are filled with bright yellow cream, although sweetness and accurate recipe may vary.

Although Berliner can be filled with many different fillings, the most common and authentic is yellow cream. Other common fillings include white cream, various flavors of fruit jelly or canning or chocolate or mocha filling. Some versions of this pastry are not filled at all.

In some parts of America, this type of donut is known as the Bavarian cream or Boston Crème donut when the yellowouples are filled. Although pastry type of fruit is most often known as jelly donuts, in some gourmet pResultations can be called the name of the fruit, for example, where the apple -filled donut could be called apple Berlin. Boston Crème donut is so -called because it resembles larger cakes Boston Crème.

Simple Berliner inspired controversy far beyond its direct composition. The famous words of US President John F. Kennedy in Berlin on a diplomatic visit caused that many argued whether the words of the visitor were actually correct. It is said that Kennedy told the crowd bin ein Berliner , which in similar forms can mean either "I am a person from Berlin" or "I am filled with a donut." While some argue that the words of the President have committed incorrect on the side of the description of the jelly donut using the wrong German article, ein , others with the knowledge of German language feel that the sentence can be precisely interpreted in context.

It is important to realizeThat although conventions in many bakeries are to produce berries or jelly donuts with standard pre -wrapped fruit filler, some versions of this pastry can use fresher fruit fillings. Other bakers can add less sugar to the filler to make it seem less processed. These types of donuts also add different frying or baking techniques.
