it is really sad to say that I am Polish and also from Detroit.
and well, I hate Pączkis lol. I love all the other polish food.
Every year my grandparents look like they want to disown me when I turn one down.

Ooh, those look yummy. My husband’s part Polish and from Philly, where there’s a good percentage of Polish folk, and I don’t even think he knows what those are! LOL

I am Polish (well born in the US but my great-grandparents immigrated here in the early 1900s)! I love Paczki and when I realized today was Ash Weds (totally flaked) I realized I missed Polish Doughnut Day- I am SO bummed!!!

Thanks for the shout out to the yummies!

Trent, I agree that it’s unfortunate that not everyone knows about Paczkis. I’m from South Bend, IN and the Polish community is huge in this area. I’m kind of glad they are only around once a year, or I’d be eating them all the time. Plus it just makes them all the more special…

Hi.
I’ve been reading your blog for a while now and I just can’t get enough :)
and now I’m thrilled, because you have written something about my country – I mean Poland.
wish you luck!
P.S. Pączkis are really good, although I like your american donuts too :)))

Glad to hear your mom is feeling better. Wanting to leave the house is a good sign.Those paczki’s sure look good. I am so hungy for something like that. I have been thinking of going to Krispy Creme for lunch.

Story to share: Picture it, 5:30 p.m. yesterday. I left the bakery with a box of Paczki. Not being able to wait until I got home, I decided to dig out the custard filled one and start eating in the car. First bite – custard drips down my chin. Bogus. Then I feel someone staring at me! Glance to the right – it’s a lady in her car. I smile (lol, I’ve totally been caught red handed). OMG I end up inhaling some powdered suger as I smiled and choked on the powdery dust! I am coughing, custard on my chin and white poweder flying all inside the car’s interior! I hope that lady laughed her ass off at me, cause I sure did!!! HAPPY LENT

Boo, no more Paczkis for a whole year :(. I wish every day were Paczki day. I see you went for the glazed. Powdered are the only way to go, imho.
