One more German baking question, for anyone still around --

I've got a recipe for Berliners. So far, it says to mix together 500g flour and 20g yeast, then mix together 100g sugar, 1 tsp salt, 100g butter, 1/4 liter milk, then 100g "Rorinen" or "Ronnen" or something like that. I've checked a dictionary and a few English recipes, and can't figure out what this is supposed to be. Any guesses?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

At a guess, I would say heat the sugar, salt, butter, and milk mixture. It might translate as "scald" (when I bake bread using this kind of method, you mix the yeast in with the flour then stir in warm milk).

But it's got to be an ingredient -- it says "100g" of whatever it is.

Hil, lemon rind/zest, maybe?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Berliners are filled, right? Could it be something to do with that? Jam, custard, preserves, .... um, yum....?

I think my emails are being eaten by the junkmail filter. Either that, or people are just trying to find out how long they can ignore me before I appear at their door. This isn't rocket science, here! Answer the damned questions!

Berliners usually have lemon rind and sometimes are flavored with rum or vanilla, then filled with jam.

I scored a win! Telling the neurologist's receptionist that I don't know what else to do has gotten my appointment moved up by three weeks.

At this point I'm just about ready to be hospitalised.
