Fat Tuesday Paczki!

Happy Belated Fat Tuesday! I kept my tradition of consuming paczki on this holiday yesterday and was even surprised to find a local bakery making them (last year I drove out to the burbs to get my Polish Fat Tuesday doughnut fix). 

A local Australian bakery, Banksia, located in downtown Kansas City showed up on my google search for paczki in Kansas City. They had raspberry and custard filled options of paczki and I even called ahead to order one of each.

These rich doughnuts were deliciously chewy and generously filled with custard/raspberry preserves but they were a little heavy on the oil flavor. Fun fact: this was my first custard filled paczki in my seven years of paczki eating.

I've already started scoping out next year's paczki from Scratch Bakery, who distributes their baked goods to local grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants around Kansas City.
