[edit] German similiarities

i am not sure if they are similar to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_Pfannkuchen or if they are something else altogether. and in germany the term "Fasnacht" is also an other word for the german carnival Fastnacht (the t is not always used). 217.91.55.124 22:42, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like it's the same as Berliner (pastry). --91.65.124.74 02:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

They aren't the same at all. Berliners are just jelly rolls. They are usually glazed, often frosted as well, and they are round. Authentic fasnachts have square edges, and are either plain or sugared, and NEVER have fillings. Berliners are made from a wheat flour, while authentic fasnachts are made with potatoes in the dough. Also, there's no religious significance to Berliners; St. Peter isn't going to tell you that you're going to hell because you didn't eat enough Berliners. 72.72.142.254 (talk) 13:35, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
