Happy Fat Tuesday.
PACZKI
Dissolve 2 packets (4.5 teaspoons) yeast in .5 cup lukewarm
water. Pinch of sugar.
Large bowl: 4.5 cups flour, make a well; add yeast; mix lightly;
set aside.
Put 1 cup sugar, 1.25 sticks butter; 1 cup milk; 1 tablespoon
salt into a pot and warm to lukewarm
Pour this over flour/yeast; add 2-3 beaten eggs. mix for 5
minutes with a wooden spoon. If the mixture seems too wet, add
some flour.
Grease the sides of the bowl, cover with a dish cloth, and let
rise 1-2 hours until double in bulk.
Pat the whole mixture down to 2”; cut out paczki*; cover with a
dish cloth and allow to rise until double again. (*Use whatever
you like to make your pastries smaller or larger; I’m going to
use an old gelato jar, a little bigger than a coffee cup. Last
time I used something smaller, and I got something more like
doughnut holes than paczki.)
Heat vegetable oil to 350º. Fry until brown (2-3 minutes per
side).
To sugar: place table sugar in bag and toss 3-4 at a time while
still warm. (If you prefer, you can use powdered sugar instead.
Too messy for me.)
They can be filled with jelly or jam if you have a piping bag
and are ambitious enough. I’m fine with balls of dough, cooked
in fat, rolled in sugar. That’s more than enough for me.

Yeah, that's the money line.
You make them today so you can eat them tomorrow. And today.

This is an item I happily outsource to the professional polish
bakers.
Of course with jelly.
Although they shouldn't do this super bowl week fat Sunday and
fat Tuesday.

I got 18 plus one to test the oil (and the flavor).

when i first saw this thread title in my unread messages view, i
assumed it was about former press secretary Jen Psaki and i
wondered what was up with her.
then i saw the thread fell under the Food category & i'm like:
ah, 🍩.... makes sense now.💡

These sound delicious and I am glad I can't currently chew
easily. But also sad I can't currently chew easily.

My husband had a tooth implant this morning and another
extracted. So we’re having deviled eggs, a spoon of ham salad,
and potato salad for supper. Pretty heavy on the Mayo but it’s
only one meal.
