Have you ever asked into something so fluffy and sweet that you instantly grinned like a kid in a candy store? That’s exactly what happened to me the first time I tried a Berliner—Germany’s famous jelly-filled donut. Let me tell you, I was hooked faster than Pretzel (our Border Collie Lab Mix) can steal a fallen crumb off the kitchen floor!
I remember strolling through a bustling Christmas market in Berlin, my hands freezing but my heart warm with holiday cheer. The stall with Berliners lured me in with their sugary aroma. One bite of that pillowy dough and fruity jam filling, and I knew I had stumbled upon dessert perfection.
Now that I’m back home, I’ve perfected this Berliner recipe, bringing the taste of German pastry magic to my own kitchen. Brace yourself for a sweet adventure!
