Here in Bay City, Michigan we have a very large Polish Population. Today is the day they use up all their eggs, lard and sugar and they make Paczkis before Lent. They are basically a jelly doughnut, but with a richer dough. Kryziaks house and Barney's bakery will be selling hundreds of Paczkis today.

Thanks Todd.....my family (way back) was from Poland, Krakow to be exact, but we are not Catholic, so this is very new cultural info for me

I thought everyone knew about Paczki's! I wonder if it's more of a Michigan things? They are big here too. One small bakery in Traverse City sold over 900 dozen of the confections. Now that's a lotta jelly dounuts! :lol:

Happy Paczki day to you too Todd.

I was all set to get some paczkis with cream cheese filling but they had been labeled incorrectly and were lemon. Nasty, tinny, gooey sweet lemon too. I got my money back!
When I was still baking we would make hundreds of these and sell them all.

It's here again.

So I go to Kryziaks House to pick up my Paczkis yesterday and they had hundreds of boxes all lined up and ready to be filled. They opened at 5:00 this morning to handle the crowds. I'm glad I wasn't there.
