INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the first measure of flour and the yeast in a large mixer
bowl. Heat the milk, sugar , shortening and salt in a saucepan,
stirring constantly, until warm (115 degrees-120 degrees) and the
shortening is almost melted. Add to the flour mixture. Add the eggs.
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
minutes. 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  enough
of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft, smooth,  elastic
dough (3-5 minutes total). Shape into a ball. Place in a  lightly
greased bowl. Turn the dough to grease the outer surface.  Cover. Let
rise in a warm place until doubled (45-60 minutes). Punch  down. Divide
dough in half. Cover. Rest 10 minutes. 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 warm place until VERY LIGHT (about 30  minutes). Heat the oil in
the deep fryer to 375 degrees. Deep fry  until golden (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 other
flavored filling using either a  spoon or 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  the milk and chocolate. Cook,
stirring, over medium heat until  thickened and bubbly. Cook, stirring,
2 minutes longer. Gradually  stir half the mixture into the beaten egg.
Return to the hot mixture  in the pan. Cook, stirring, until just
bubbly. Remove from the heat.  Stir in the butter and vanilla. Cover
with plastic wrap. Cool without  stirring.  File
