Every time I make these baked paczki, I feel like I’m bringing a piece of cozy comfort into my kitchen. Unlike the traditional fried version, these are golden, fluffy, and just sweet enough with none of the oily mess. As a chef, I’ve made hundreds of baked goods, but these Polish donuts are always a crowd-pleaser. Let me walk you through everything I’ve learned about making them absolutely perfect.
Why I Love Making Baked Paczki
- Lighter than fried donuts guilt-free indulgence!
- Perfect texture fluffy on the inside, golden on the outside
- Endless customization from jams to custards
- Simple ingredients no fancy tools needed
- Great for breakfast, brunch, or festive snacks
