Steps:
- If it's cold in your kitchen, heat your oven to 86°F (30°C).
- Sift the flour.
- Warm up the milk.
- Using a spoon, mix yeast with 1 tbsp of sugar. Add 3 tbsps of warm milk and 1 tbsp of flour. Mix and leave it for 30 minutes to grow.The mixture will double or triple its size, that's why you should place it in a big bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen cloth. If it's cold in your kitchen, place a bowl in the oven heated to 86°F (30°C).
- In the meantime, beat egg yolks with sugar until they change the color to whitish. If you are using the pudding filling, it's the right time to do it (read how to do it below).
- After 30 minutes, mix all the ingredients for the dough together. You may knead it manually or use a food processor. Knead until the dough starts to detach from your hand.
- Place the dough in a big bowl, cover with a clean kitchen cloth, and leave to grow for about 30-60 minutes until it doubles its size. Again, if it's cold in your kitchen, place the bowl in the oven.
- When the dough has doubled its size, knead it briefly to remove excessive air bubbles.
- Pour the oil into the wok or big pot and start heating it up.
- Start forming pączki. Each should have the size of the tangerine.
- Cover pączki with a kitchen cloth and wait until the oil is ready to fry.How to check whether the oil is hot enough? Throw a small piece of the dough into the oil. If it stays on the bottom, the oil is still too cold. If the dough comes straight up to the surface, the oil is ready to fry.
- Fry pączki for about 3-5 minutes on each side.
- After frying, place the pączki on a plate lined with paper towels to remove the excessive fat.
- Pour one cup of milk into the pot.
- Add egg yolks, sugar, and whip it together until you will get a smooth, yellow color.
- Place a pot on the stove, cook slowly, stirring frequently.
- In the meantime, pour half a cup of milk into the small bowl.
- Add potato flour. Mix until dissolved.
- When the mixture in the pot nearly boils, add milk with potato starch and mix until you will get the consistency of pudding.
- Mix 1 cup of icing sugar with 1 tbsp water and heat up until you get a smooth consistency.
- When the donuts are still warm, fill them up with jam or pudding using a big syringe (like this). You will need about 30-50ml of filling per donut.
- If you are using sugar glaze, pour them onto warm pączki. You may add candied orange peel as well.
- Alternatively, you may use icing sugar. Sprinkle it when the pączki are cold.

AUTHENTIC POLISH PACZKI
This is the recipe I found handwritten in my Polish grandmother's cookbook. I have since found ones almost identical in Polish cuisine cookbooks. I so looked forward as a child to the Sundays that the Catholic church in Wilno, Minnesota sold paczkis after Mass on Sundays. They were the best treat ever. This recipe takes some effort, but they taste just as good. *NOTE....I'm adding this change after reading the last reviewer's very helpful comment that it tasted too eggy...she's right, it's a very eggy pastry dough. Be sure to use 6 whole eggs instead of the 12 yolks if you don't like that flavor (I know many people don't). It will work just as well, but be more to your taste. I'm so glad she took the time to bring this to my attention....it's something I should have mentioned before.

AUTHENTIC POLISH PACZKI
Polish Paczki Day (Fat Thursday) is coming. This recipe I brought with me from Poland. I've made them for years, and they always are the best with vanilla pudding made from scratch, drizzled with chocolate or sprinkled with powdered sugar. Yum!

Steps:
- Mix sifted flour with salt and yeast using a dough hook attachment electric mixer. Add in all the remaining ingredients, setting the melted butter aside. Once the dough begins to form, add in the butter. The dough will become sticky at this point.
- Continue to mix for 5 minutes on medium speed, then for 2 minutes, switch to high speed. Spray a glass bowl with grease. Place the dough into the bowl, and cover with a kitchen towel. Place the bowl in warm room until the dough doubles in size.
- Take the dough out and place on a lightly floured surface. Flatten the dough with your hands until it is 1 inch thick. Cut with 3.5 inch glass diameter or cookie cutter. You can cut smaller circles out of the dough to your preference. Cover them with a kitchen towel for 15-20 minutes, letting them expand more.
- Fry in pre-heated oil at 350F. I use olive oil or sunflower oil. I add a couple of peeled potato wedges so that the paczki don't absorb oil while frying. Fry for 3 minutes on each side, or until ready.
BUSIA'S AUTHENTIC POLISH PACZKI
These take us back to Mardi Gras! They taste a lot like beignets but with the added sweetness from the yummy raisins. These light and fluffy little donuts went very quick in the Test Kitchen.

Steps:
- 1. Dissolve 2 pkgs dry yeast in the warm water for about 10 minutes until it begins to foam.
- 2. Add 2 cups cooled, scalded milk and 2 cups flour and beat well.
- 3. Add the 4 egg yolks and 1 whole egg, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, salt and nutmeg. Beat until light and fluffy.
- 4. Add 4 cups of the flour and the raisins (toss the raisins in a bit of flour before adding to dough). Mix well. Dust a flat surface with a small amount of the remaining flour and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes, using the remaining flour as needed. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with film and place in a warm spot to raise for 1 hour.
- 5. Turn 1/2 of the dough out on a floured surface and pat out 1/2 inch thick. Cut circles with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place cut out dough on a floured pan or towel. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise until double, about 45 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
- 6. Pour enough vegetable or canola oil into a heavy pot or an electric frying pan to fill about 1/2 full. Using a candy thermometer, heat oil to deep fry temp. Gently drop in 4 or 5 paczki into the oil. When golden brown on one side flip the paczki over to fry on the other side. Use a long needle or a toothpick to poke into the center of the paczki; if no dough sticks to the needle, the dough is cooked. Remove paczki from oil and place on layers of paper towels or plain brown paper bag to drain and cool.
- 7. In a small paper bag, put about 1/2 cup of either powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. Add a paczki, close bag and shake to cover with sugar and serve. Paczki get stale after a day so place unused paczki in a freezer zip bag. Remove only what you need. Defrost and sugar them when you want more:)

- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium size bowl combine the eggs, milk, butter, sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Add the yeast and mix well.
- Make dough: Add the flour to the bowl of your mixer, then pour in the milk/egg mixture. Using the dough hook, mix well until well incorporated. You will know that the dough is done when it comes clean from the sides of the bowl. The dough will be a soft dough.
- Prepare dough and let rise: Turn over the dough onto a floured surface and knead for a couple minutes, then place the dough in a bowl that's sprayed with cooking spray. I also like to spray the dough with some cooking spray so that it doesn't dry out. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rise for a couple hours. The dough should double in size.
- Roll dough and cut rounds: Roll out the dough on a floured surface so that's it's about 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut out rounds using a glass or a cookie cutter. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place the donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until doubled in size.
