Paczkis that Pack a "Poonch"
Fat Tuesday represents the last day of indulgence before the Catholic season of Lent begins. From Wednesday, March 1 to Saturday, April 15, millions
of Americans will look to fast or give up certain luxuries in their daily lives.
Therefore, the Tuesday before Lent has become a special holiday for many,
including those in the baking industry.
For more devout followers, certain cooking fats are forbidden during Lent. In
Poland, that practice led to the rise of certain delicacies on Fat Tuesday, such
as paczki. Pronounced POONCH-key, these donut-like pastries typically ﬁlled
with custard or jelly came to America with Polish immigrants who passed on
the tradition to their kin.
This became a common fried treat to ﬁnd in urban Midwestern centers with
large Polish communities, like Chicago or Detroit. Retail bakeries in those
areas would specialize in paczkis, making it one of their more popular products. As its success caught on elsewhere, more and more retailers across the
country focused on making their special brand of this baked good.
Creative Cakes in Tinley Park, Illinois (one of the ﬂourishing suburbs south
of Chicago) has become a top distributor of paczki. Their "Extreme Paczki"
includes creative twists like Maple Bacon Mayhem which is ﬁlled with maple
custard, iced with maple glaze, and topped with crumbled bacon.
"They're a little more work than a regular paczki, but you get a lot out of it,"
says Beth Fahey, co-owner of Creative Cakes.
Staying in Chicago, another fantastic paczki location is Delightful Pastries in
Lincoln Park. One way they've managed to make their mark on this seasonal
specialty is to booze up the ﬁllings. These "drunken" paczkis include a Jameson Irish Whiskey-spiked chocolate custard and a vodka and vanilla bean
custard, and arrive during a celebration marked by alcohol consumption.
Hamtramck, Michigan is known as a vibrant center of Polish American life
and culture. One of its most popular European-style bakeries is New Palace
Bakery. They specialize in many paczki ﬂavors, and have become well known
for fusing multiple ﬂavors together. Some of their latest menu additions
include peaches and cream, chocolate/marshmallow crunch (a chocolate and
marshmallow combination covered with milk chocolate and graham cracker
crumbs), and chocolate hazelnut/buttercream.
While more traditional ﬁllings like prune, raspberry, lemon, and custard will
continue to be consumed on Fat Tuesday, look for these trendy offerings from
