It’s that time of year!
It’s Fat Tuesday folks, or many like to call it Mardi Gras of course…but if you’re a Polish, then it takes on a different meaning. Walk into your local Hyvee and chances are, you’ll see a red box full of doughnut looking pastries with an odd name.
That my friend, is Paczki!
From EATER.com: Paczki are Polish doughnuts. Usually full of jelly or some kind of sweet filling, they are known to draw lines around the block this time of year. Traditional paczki contain a splash of Polish vodka called Spiritus in addition to the flour, eggs, milk, sugar, yeast, and sometimes butter that make up the dough.
Head into your local store, feel polish, and grab Paczki.
