    Its Paczki Day again! Here's a little history on it.


    -To celebrate Pączki Day, or Fat Tuesday, in Pure Michigan, Jennifer Polasek of The Awesome Mitten gives us some history behind the holiday, along with a roundup of bakeries where you can pick up your Pączki.

    It's that time of year again! Fat Tuesday, or as it is lovingly called in many areas of Michigan, Paczki Day. This day is celebrated by indulging in the traditional Polish jelly-filled pastry known as a pączek (PON-check). The more commonly used name for these is pączki (POONCH-kee), which is the plural pronunciation for this sweet treat...

    Pączki are made from richer yeast dough that won't collapse when you bite into it. Pączki are pastries made from deep-fried flat dough with fruit or cream filling and are topped with a light dusting of sugar. The traditional fruit filling is prune, but others include apricot, lemon, blueberry, raspberry and custard.

    In larger cities in Poland, pączki are sold in numerous bakeries every day, but are much smaller than the ones made in America. Pączki are a specialty pastry reserved for once a year in honor of Fat Tuesday. It is a Catholic day of celebration as it is the precursor to the Lenten season, and the last day to indulge in foods before the traditional 40-day period of fasting before Easter. Polish immigrants brought those traditions with them to the United States, so places with strong Polish roots hold on to those important celebrations...

    The bakeries here in OK, have never heard of a Paczki. Sad.
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.
