Berliner, makes about 10 pieces
Mix all ingredients up to and including the yeast in a bowl. Add the butter or margarine, milk, and egg, mix, and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let rise at room temperature for about 1 hour until doubled in size. Shape the dough into 10 equal-sized balls. Make a hollow in each one with your thumb. Press 1 chocolate ball into the hollow. Brush the edge of the dough with a very small amount of egg white and press down firmly. Turn the balls between your hands until the top is barely visible. Place this side down on a baking tray lined with a baking sheet and let rise for another 45 minutes. Deep fry: heat the oil to about 180 degrees Celsius. Place the doughnuts in batches, top side down, in the oven, bake for about 2.5 minutes, turn over, and finish baking for about 2.5 minutes. Remove from the oven and drain on kitchen paper. Dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar before serving.
