Pączki

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 cakes yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon mace or nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg or mace
  • 4 1/2 cups flour

Instructions

  • Scald milk and allow to cool to lukewarm.
  • Break yeast into lukewarm milk.
  • Beat sugar and butter until fluffy, add eggs, salt, and flavoring.
  • Add flour and milk gradually, beating well.
  • Let rise in warm place until double in bulk (about 2 1/2 hours).
  • Punch down, knead and let rise again.
  • Place dough on lightly floured board, stretch towards you and fill with thick filling (jelly is not thick enough).
  • Fold over and cut into desired size ball, place on lightly floured surface and let rise.
  • Fry in deep hot fat, turning only once.
  • Pączki should have a very dark color before turning to ensure they are thoroughly baked.
  • Drain on soft absorbent paper.
  • Sprinkle with vanilla-flavored powdered sugar or mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon.
