Pączki are fried rounds of yeast dough
with prune, apricot, strawberry,
raspberry or sweet cheese filling.
I make them without filling,
simply dusted with confectioner's sugar.
Ingredients:
Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together
butter and sugar until fluffy.
Beat in whole egg, then egg yolks one at a time.
Add brandy, dissolved yeast and salt.
Beat until well mixed, add flour gradually
to make a stiff dough. Knead on low speed
until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
Place dough in a greased bowl.
Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk.
Heat oil to 375 degrees F.
in large pot or Dutch oven.
Fry paczki a few at a time 2 to 3 minutes
or until bottom is golden brown.
Flip them over and fry another 1 to 2 minutes
or until golden brown.
Drain paczki on paper towels.
