Happy Paczki Day! (aka the day before Lent begins, which means the day to eat beignets, king cake and Polish Doughnuts called paczki).
This year I decided to try to get my paczki fix from Hy-Vee since reddit told me they usually sell them. I also grabbed Bavarian cream-filled bismarck from a local donut shop, Fresh Donuts, because it was conveniently located next door to the grocery store.
After 8 years, I remember why I hadn't revisited the grocery store-paczki option until now: they just aren't as delicious as a regular donut shop doughnut. I'm so glad I got the bismarck from Fresh Donuts as a backup---it was so fluffy and tasty! The Hy-Vee one was bland yet overly sweet.
Next year, if I'm ambitious, I'll try to make Semlor, which are Swedish Fat Tuesday cream-filled buns. Or maybe even a king cake.
HAPPY PACZKI DAY!
