Pączki
(; : , ; ; Old Polish and ) are filled doughnuts found in Polish cuisine. Description A ''pączek'' is a deep-fried piece of dough shaped into a flattened ball and filled with confiture or other sweet filling. ''Pączki'' are usually covered with powdered sugar, icing, glaze, or bits of dried orange zest. A small amount of grain alcohol (traditionally rectified spirit) is added to the dough before cooking; as it evaporates, it prevents the absorption of oil deep into the dough. ''Pączki'' are commonly thought of as fluffy but somewhat collapsed, with a bright stripe around them; these features are seen as evidence that the dough was fried in fresh oil. Although they look like German berliners ( bismarcks in North America) or jelly doughnuts, ''pączki'' are made from especially rich dough containing eggs, fats, sugar, yeast, and sometimes milk. They feature a variety of fruit and creme fillings and can be glazed, or covered with granulated or powdered sugar. '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
