OMG: Paczki Recipe – Polish Baked Donuts

If you love soft, fluffy donuts with a rich, buttery texture, then you’re in for a treat! Pączki (pronounced “pohnch-kee”) are traditional Polish donuts, often filled with jam, custard, or cream, and dusted with powdered sugar. Unlike regular donuts, pączki have a richer dough thanks to eggs, butter, and milk, giving them an irresistibly soft texture.

While traditional pączki are deep-fried, this baked version offers a lighter alternative without compromising on flavor. Whether you’re celebrating Fat Thursday (Tłusty Czwartek) or Fat Tuesday, or just craving a delicious pastry, this homemade baked pączki recipe will become a favorite in your kitchen!
