OT: It's Paczki Time!

[Pharos]

I'm not against jelly-filled pastry... but it did remind me of this...

I never tried one. I thought they were just donuts? They have them for a limited time at Big Y.

Not “just” donuts. Delicious! And Big Y is a good place to get them.

Can you PM me, it's about a certain person that you want to know about. For some reason I can't PM you or any of the others asking.

I'm pleased to report that my local Publix has paczki!

I'm even more pleased to report that I scored 3 boxes of the raspberry-filled ones! (They had apple-filled ones as well.)

If you need to be convinced there is a God just eat an Apple or Cream Paczkis. And if you need any further proof try the Lemon or Blueberry.

Do yourself a favor and look up Party Cake Bakery in PGH. Best paczki anywhere. Ever.

Or try the Oakmont Bakery or Prantels.

After polishing (pun intended) off the box I referred to when I started this thread I found my Publix was still carrying them so in an abundance of caution I got two more boxes, one cream and one raspberry filled, the only choices I had.. They are no more. Out of curiosity I googled Paczki near me and found there is a Polish market I I pass frequently that carries them; I wish I had tried theirs but at this point I've reached and exceeded my jelly donut type food limit.

My googling did reveal that if there is something that is both sweet and injectable, somebody is using it in their paczkis. Most sound delicious and some are downright odd. Next year I'll get more adventurous.

And One - Just got home from our local Grocery Store here in Burlington, ON, Canada where lo and behold they had a big display of Paczki's. We bought a Box of Boston Cream and enjoyed our first ever Paczki with our tea. Cheers, Jandab

Sounds ever so lovely. As a gesture to our northern New England and Canadian friends a dash of maple syrup in the cream would be a nice touch. Or just dip your Paczki in the syrup. Perhaps quilding the lily but still...

I can't find lemon, but I've had the Boston Cream and they are good. Here's my problem putting "Boston Cream" in a Polish pastry seems just a little incongruent. Maybe this is some kind of fusion? In any event you are not going to find paczkis in a retail outlet after Fat Tuesday. So, if you never ate a box or 2, you are running out of time. FYI, I'm told paczkis are health food.
