Woodmoor Bakery Silver Spring MDThe tradition is that the Tuesday before Lent is a time to indulge or Fatten up before tightening belts and giving up things for Lent, which starts on Ash Wednesday.  It is the Fat Tuesday associated with Mardi Gras and it is the Shrove Tuesday associated with Pancake Suppers or Pancake Day.

This Tuesday February 13th is also Paczki Day, a Polish tradition of making and eating Paczki the day before Lent starts. 

The best place to get Paczki in Silver Spring, is at the Woodmoor Bakery/Pastry Shop in the Woodmoor Shopping Center at Four Corners.  They make the most divine, decadent Paczki anywhere in the area.  They are the filled, rolled in powdered sugar type paczki and they are GOOD.

It is best to get there early - They start making them a few weeks before Paczki Day, so they Powdered Paczkishould have them NOW!  I got there on Fat Tuesday last year at noon and they only had 5 Paczki Left! 


Here's Hoping the Paczki are plentiful, there is no long line and they don't run out!

Check out reviews of the Bakery and the Paczki at the Woodmoor Pastry Shop.

Debbie....they have these at my favorite grocery store every year and yet I have never tried them.  And from what I understand, it is pronounced something like "Poonch-key"?

Debbie - Greetings from California.  I'd love some of the paczki (pronounced "pohchki").  I'm originally from Poland and miss this tradition.

I love blogs with photos I want to eat!  Saves me on calories!!  What a great tradition and anything deep fried with a dough made of sugar, stuffed with sweet filling is definately a wonderful treat in my book.

Good evening debbie, those look and sound tasty.  They remind me of that tasty pastry in New Orleans.  I hope you get some before they run out this year!!  Do they only make them at this time of year?

Debbie --
Here's Hoping the Paczki are plentiful, there is no long line and they don't run out!  I am going to have to check to see if they have any Paczki in Nashua.. These look so good.  We have a new bakery in town and I will have to check this out.

Debbie, We have some local bakeries that make them also.  Quite delicious, but I suspect total diet destroyers!  We've managed to not partake this year, and with today marking the last day and my schedule what it is, I think it's safe to say I won't make it this year.

Debbie, OMG.  My Polish grandmother in Milwaukee always made these.  We just called them prune donuts.  I have tried to get a recipe from relatives and have not.  Thanks.  Just as soon as I am able i'm going to make these.  Not alot of Polish bakeries in Naples Florida.
