📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Berliners are fried doughnuts loved throughout Germany, especially around Silvester (New Year's Eve) and Carnival. Balls of yeast dough are fried, filled generously with jam (traditionally plum or raspberry), and dusted with powdered sugar. In some areas, people playfully slip in a few filled with mustard instead.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a New Year's Eve party, a mountain of Berliners waits on the table and everyone laughs over who gets the mustard one.
