Berliner definition and meaning

What is "Berliner"?

A Berliner is a type of pastry that is similar to a jelly donut. It is named after Berlin, Germany, where it is a popular pastry. The pastry consists of a sweet, yeast dough that is filled with a variety of sweet fillings, such as jam, custard, or chocolate. The dough is shaped into a ball and then deep-fried until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside. Berliners are often dusted with powdered sugar or coated in granulated sugar, giving them a sweet and crunchy exterior. They are a popular pastry in many countries around the world and are often enjoyed as a sweet treat for breakfast or as a snack throughout the day.
