TODAY IS PACZKI (PUNCH-KEY) DAY...
...which means that one could break the Shivaratri fast with decadent (400-calorie) Fat Tuesday Polish donuts from Dinkel's.
The cakelike, deep-fried glazed donut comes in flavors like plum, apple or chocolate, and constitutes the opposite of the prescribed live, vegan, low-sugar yogic diet.
Fortunately, you can get them only once a year.
More on Paczki here.
The recipe (which it is probably best not to read) is here.

ReplyDeleteWe call them Krapfen here. I just had one. They are gooooooood. :)

ReplyDeleteUrsula, what flavor did you have?
I prefer it with apricot jam.
ReplyDeleteThis is classic here.
But you can have it with everything.
As a joke they put mustard in it in E's company. E didn't find it funny.
Every year I think the same thing: I would really like for someone to make a vegan paczki (and for me to eat it)!
ReplyDeleteI long for treats like these. LONG!
ReplyDeleteSome come filled with jelly or cream that contains alcohol. Usually, you only taste a hint of alcohol, but last week I had an Eierlikor (egg liquor similar to egg nog) flavored one that made me cringe. I made the same face I make when I drink schnapps.
