jelly doughnuts

Jam-stuffed fried treats

Jelly doughnuts are fried dough pastries filled with jam or jelly, typically dusted with powdered sugar.

The filling is injected after frying, creating a sweet surprise at the center.

They appear across cultures under different names—Berliners in Germany, sufganiyot in Jewish tradition, pączki in Poland: I picked up a dozen jelly doughnuts for the office.
