Pączki (pronounced "poonch-key) are tasty Polish donuts with a rich history. Originating in Poland, they were made to be enjoyed from Fat Thursday (the Thursday before Lent begins) to Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) - a final opportunity to indulge before 40 days of fasting begin.
Pączki are fried donuts usually filled with marmalade, jelly, or vanilla pudding and sprinkled with powdered sugar. If you have a Polish grandmother to show you how to make these treats, you are truly blessed.
But you can purchase genuine Pączki made by the scout troop at St. Joseph's Polish Church at 525 East 46th Avenue in Globeville, Sunday February 15th, beginning at 11:00 am, in the school cafeteria. Your fasting will be more meaningful when you remember what you're missing and you'll be supporting the scouts and the church!
