Pączki

Soft Polish yeast doughnuts fried in lard and dusted with powdered sugar, with plum filling offered.

About Pączki

Anna’s pączki belong to the Polish Fat Thursday traditions she describes from her own home. These yeast doughnuts have a soft, lightly sweet centre beneath a golden exterior.

Milk, eggs and butter enrich the dough, with lemon and vanilla providing aroma. Lard is the named frying fat, and powdered sugar gives the finished doughnuts a pale coating.

Plum filling is an offered addition, bringing a fruit contrast inside the doughnut. The filled presentation is cooled, with the simple sugar dusting accompanying its rounded shape.
