Ah yes...the start of Mardi Gras...and Fat Tuesday is celebrated at every grocery store bakeryl...every bakery and every kitchen in the area that has a baker of note with the oh so famous Paczki recipe ! In case you are wondering...you pronounce Paczki...Poonch Key...yeah...I know...Who Knew...BUT what you DO know is that it as melts in your mouth...it will probably melt to your hips and other parts from the sugary exterior...powdered, regular or frosted to the tasty cake and on to the filling in the middle...which can be a variety of things. Some people would say it is traditional to have prune filling...I will skip that tradition....and on the ooey gooey raspberry....mmmm...sugary sweet with the frosting combination...it makes your teeth hurt !
There have been places around town that have been known to have lines around the block and down the street with piles of Paczkis piling up on plates and disappearing at office break rooms and kitchen and dining room tables everywhere...
From the "I never met a donut I didn't love"
and the bottom of my slightly greasy but OH soooo tasty heart... HAPPY FAT TUESDAY !!!
