Paczki are made from a rich dough containing eggs, fats, sugar, yeast and sometimes milk, so they tend to be a little more rich and dense than a typical donut. Packzi can have a variety of fruit or cream fillings. They can be glazed or covered with either granulated or powdered sugar. In Poland, a stewed plum jam or a wild rose hip jam are the most traditional fillings, but many others are used as well, including strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, apple, prune or custard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen are Paczki eaten?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Poland, Paczki are eaten on Fat Thursday, which is the last Thursday prior to Ash Wednesday (prior to lent). The traditional reason for making pączki was to use up all the lard, sugar, eggs and fruit in the house, in preparation for the fasting of Lent ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America, Paczki Day typically occurs on Fat Tuesday, the last day before the beginning of Lent. In some communities with large Polish populations, Paczki day is celebrated on both Fat Thursday and Fat Tuesdy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you pronounce Paczki?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile there are slight variations, the typical North American pronunciation of Paczki is POONCH-key.
