Paczki (Baked Doughnuts)

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
