Berlin Pan-cakes

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare Sweet Dough No. 1 or No. 2, keeping it very soft like doughnut dough.

  2. Roll the dough into round balls and let them rise for 15 minutes.

  3. Flatten each ball slightly with your palm.

  4. Place a small amount of fruit jelly or jam in the center and pinch the edges to enclose the fruit, reforming a ball.

  5. Lay the balls on a floured cloth, smooth side up, cover, and let them rise until nearly double in size.

  6. Fry the balls in hot lard, turning them constantly until golden brown.
