[Sca-cooks] Jelly Donuts in 15th c. Germany

[David Friedman]

A recent discussion on Facebook was set off by a web page that claims to 
find the origin of /Sufganiyah /in a jelly doughnut recipe called 
"Gefüllte Krapfen" in a cookbook called /Kuchenmeisterei /published in 
Nurnberg in 1485:

There is a facsimile of a cookbook called /Kuchmaistrey/ , published in 
Nurnberg in 1490, webbed at:

http://diglib.hab.de/wdb.php?dir=inkunabeln%2F276-quod-2

The facsimile has an alphabetical index at the beginning in which I 
cannot find "Gefüllte Krapfen." There is a section labeled "Krapfen" and 
I can't find it there either. On the other hand, I'm far from fluent in 
German, let alone 15th c. German in gothic print, so might easily be 
missing something.

Does anyone know of a webbed searchable text of the book in question? A 
translation? Would anyone on this list whose German is better than mine 
like to go searching for jelly doughnuts?
