How about a filled Polish doughnut know as a Pączki, pronounced (POHNCH-kee). These little pillows of rich egg dough, scented with dark rum and vanilla, are fried until golden brown and then filled with generous amounts of fruit or custard filling and then finished with a liberal dusting of powder sugar. Indulge your friends and family with these decadent sweet treats this coming Fat Tuesday or anytime of the year.
Pączki Day is a time to celebrate: Fat Tuesday (Tuesday, February 13) also known as Pączki Day here in the Detroit-Metro Area is just around the corner. The bakeries in the Polish neighborhood of Hamtramck are starting to gear up and are all ready taking orders for this special day. This is when Detroiters from all backgrounds happily flock to the bakeries in Hamtramck to brave Mother Nature’s winterly winds and snow while waiting in long lines for hours at a time to purchase their own boxes loaded with these decadent little fried pillows of sweet goodness. The tradition comes from Eastern European Polish Roman Catholics. Pączki is a traditional food the week before Lent or the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. For many Polish families Pączki are a treat for Sundays, holidays and other special occasions.
