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

I downloaded it and am looking it over.  Since 
I'm mostly finished with Rumpolt, I think I will 
try transcribing and translating this.  It's more 
archaic spelling than Rumpolt, and some of the 
letters are puzzling me at this point. We'll see 
how it goes.

But I'm very doubtful about Gefüllte Krapfen meaning jelly donuts this early.
