A Berliner
A Berliner Pfannkuchen , or Berliner for short is a traditional German pastry similar to a doughnut with no central hole, made from sweet yeast dough fried in fat or oil, with a marmalade or jam filling and usually icing , powdered sugar or conventional sugar on top. They are sometimes made with chocolate , champagne , custard , mocha , or advocaat filling, or with no filling at all.
It achieved fame in 1963 when President John F. Kennedy proudly declared "Ich bin ein Berliner" ("I am a Berliner"), which led to the popular view that he had made a gaffe and had in fact said "I am a jam doughnut". → more...
