Paczki, the celebrated Polish donut, distinguish themselves with rich ingredients and special fillings, making them unique compared to typical jelly donuts. Celebrated on Paczki Day, these pastries are often filled with jelly or custard and are made with a brioche-like dough containing ingredients such as eggs, butter, and lemon oil, resulting in a denser texture. They typically feature a thin glaze rather than powdered sugar. Varieties include raspberry and other complex fruit preserves, highlighting the pastries' cultural significance and delicious appeal in both Polish cuisine and beyond.
"A doughnut has water, salt, sugar, yeast; Paczek has eggs, yolks, lemon oil, milk, butter, and lots of eggs. You can see the difference."
"Paczki are coated in a thin glaze⦠The fillings are often more complex than just regular jelly. Their special fruit preserves may be made with orange peel, lemon peel, or even rose flavoring."
