A Tale of Two Pączki
A Tale of Two Pączki
Clearly, Tuesday was well spent. One of these is a traditional pączek right down to the plum/prune filling. It is an excellent pączek. The other is a mutant that ate all the others and is overwhelmingly filled with blackberry jelly. It is a perfectly cromulent giant pączek, if not traditional.
The most common filling around here is blackberry jam or jelly, and in this case it came from Paula's of giant donut fame. The traditional one came from the newest of the Polish bakeries and really is super delicious.
There are 3 remaining Polish bakeries around here, but these are so popular now that you can even get them at the grocery stores for Fat Tuesday. Not that you should feel limited by that, because the oldest of the remaining Polish bakeries has pączki available every Friday and Saturday. I believe theirs is the one with the rum glaze.
