Bavarian Donuts Style

In Germany there are special variations of doughnuts - without a hole. They are filled with jam or all kinds of cremes and called "Krapfen" or "Berliner". Eveybody likes them to eat on carnival or New Year's Eve - but of course you can buy them all year in cake shops. It is not difficult to make them on your own. The only diffculty is the controlling of the oil temperature. But the reward for your effort is a wonderful, tasty, fluffy doughnut variation.
