Here in Chicago, people go nuts for Pączki which are basically richer, fluffier Polish doughnuts. So think brioche dough made with eggs, butter, and milk, you get it. For some reason, there’s always a shortage of Pączki due to their popularity, so some people order these months in advance to secure the ‘nuts. They’re traditionally eaten on Fat Tuesday or Fat Thursday before lent - something I don’t have much experience with, but hey… I’ll muck a donut for a good cause. The OG Pączki are usually filled with pastry creams or fruit preserves/jam (something Polish grandmothers used to keep on deck by the ton), but you can keep them plain or add whatever you like. Peep it.
