Directions

  1. Combine the first measure of flour and the yeast in a large mixer bowl. Heat the lowfat milk, sugar , shortening and salt in a saucepan, stirring constantly, till hot (115 degrees-120 degrees) and the shortening is almost melted. Add in to the flour mix. Add in the Large eggs.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed for 1/2 minute, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat at high speed for 3 min. Stir in as much of the second measure of flour as you can with a spoon. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in sufficient of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft, smooth, elastic dough (3-5 min total). Shape into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl. Turn the dough to grease the outer surface.
  3. Cover. Let rise in a hot place till doubled (45-60 min). Punch down. Divide dough in half. Cover. Rest 10 min. Roll each half out to a 1/2" thickness. Cut with a floured 2 1/2" biscuit cutter, pressing straight down and not twisting. Reroll and cut the trimmings. Cover. Let rise in a hot place till VERY LIGHT (about 30 min). Heat the oil in the deep fryer to 375 degrees. Deep fry till golden brown (about 1 minute on each side). Drain. Use a VERY sharp knife to cut a slit in the side of each berlin. Insert 2 tsp of of chocolate, butterscotch or possibly other flavored filling using either a spoon or possibly a writing tip on a pastry bag. Roll in sifted powdered sugar. Prepare the filling, both are prepared the same way except the butterscotch uses no chocolate and replaces the granulated with brown sugar. Combine the sugar with the flour and salt in a saucepan. Add in the lowfat milk and chocolate. Cook, stirring, over medium heat till thickened and bubbly. Cook, stirring, 2 min longer. Gradually stir half the mix into the beaten egg. Return to the warm mix in the pan. Cook, stirring, till just bubbly. Remove from the heat.
  4. Stir in the butter and vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap. Cold without stirring.
