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.

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!  Happy Paczki day to you too Todd. Laurie

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.
