Berliner Pfannkuchen
A Berliner Pfannkuchen (Berliner for short) is a
traditional German pastry similar to a doughnut
with no central hole, made from sweet yeast
dough fried in fat or oil, with a marmalade or jam
filling and usually icing, powdered sugar or
conventional sugar on top. They are sometimes
made with chocolate, champagne, custard,
mocha, or advocaat filling, or with no filling at all.
The yeast dough contains a good deal of eggs,
milk and butter. The classical Pfannkuchen made
in Berlin consists of two halves filled, stuck
together and deep-fried in lard, whereby the
distinctive bright bulge occurs. The filling is
related to the topping: for plum-butter,
powdered sugar; for raspberry, strawberry and
cherry jam, sugar; for all other fillings, sugar icing,
sometimes flavoured with rum. Today the filling
usually is injected with a large syringe or pastry
bag after the dough is fried in one piece.
Today Berliners can be purchased throughout the
year, though they were traditionally eaten to
celebrate on New Year's Eve (Silvester) as well as
the carnival holidays (Rosenmontag and Fat
Tuesday). A common German practical joke is to
secretly fill some Berliners with mustard instead
of jam and serve them together with regular
Berliners without telling anyone.

Da-compounds
• When you use pronouns after prepositions in
German, the pronoun must refer to a person
or animal.
Ex.
Hast du den Hund gesehen? Nein, ich sorge
mich aber um ihn.
Telefonieren Sie heute mit Frau Schwarz? Ja, ich
telefoniere mit ihr.
Da-compounds
• If the pronoun refers to a thing or abstract
concept, German uses the preposition
preceded by da- (or dar- for prepositions
beginning with vowels: auf, an, in, and so
forth). The prepositions ohne, außer, and seit
cannot form da-compounds.

Wartet ihr auf den Bus? Ja, wir warten schon
seit zehn Minuten darauf.
Freust du dich auf da Wochenende? Ja, ich freue
mich sehr darauf.
Da-compounds
• You can use da-compounds to introduce
subordinate clauses when the verb in the
main sentence requires a verb/preposition
combination.
Ex.
Ich schrieb darüber, was ich auf meiner Reise
machte.
