Pączki are traditional Polish pastries, resembling doughnuts, typically filled with sweet fillings like fruit preserves, custard, or cream. They are made from a rich dough that includes eggs, butter, and milk, giving them a soft and fluffy texture. Pączki are often dusted with powdered sugar or glazed, making them a delightful treat. These pastries are especially popular during Fat Thursday and Fat Tuesday, which mark the end of Carnival season before Lent in the Christian calendar. Many people enjoy indulging in pączki as a way to celebrate and enjoy a final sweet treat before the fasting period begins.
