Homonym: Berliner (Pastry)
A Berliner is a type of German pastry, specifically a filled doughnut that is typically made from sweet yeast dough. It is usually deep-fried and does not have a central hole like traditional doughnuts. Instead, it is filled with various sweet fillings, such as jam, custard, or chocolate, and is often dusted with powdered sugar or glazed.
The Berliner is especially popular in Germany and is commonly enjoyed during celebrations, particularly on New Year's Eve and during the Carnival season. In some regions, it is also known as Kreppel or Pfannkuchen. This delightful treat has gained popularity in other countries, where it is often found in bakeries and cafes.
