Paczki (Baked Doughnuts)
Paczki are associated with Fat Thursday. It is a traditional Christian feast just before Lent. On the last Thursday of the carnival Christians eat paczki, because the next time of feast will be on Easter time. I grew up in Poland and Fat Thursday is very well known for me. I remember times when I went to the store to pick up the best doughnuts in town. There are many varieties of them, for example: with jam, pudding, with glaze or without. Any kind to choose from:)Paczki (Baked Doughnuts)
These doughnuts are a little different, because they are baked while original paczki are fried. These were delicious also. They are the best on the first day, the next day they become a little dry, but still good. Therefore, I suggest to eat them quickly:) The glaze adds lots of sweetness to them.Paczki

    Doughnuts!!! These look soso good! It is so neat to also hear about the culture that comes about with them. I’m sure they taste just a good baked, and are quite a bit more healthier too 🙂

      Maddi they were good, but the fried ones have totally different flavor, maybe softer.

      Thank you Heather! I think this glaze is the best, orange peel adds additional flavor:)
