Hamtramck, Get the rose flavored ones from Miron’s (if he is still open). They usually go quick and only have a few. | ||

I wonder, is the whole paczki thing just native to the Detroit region, or are people stuffing their faces world wide? | ||

How much do they run at the polish places in Hamtramck? The only ones I've ever had were from lame grocery stores. Now that I live just down the road I think it's time to try the real thing. | ||

My friends wife is from Poland and the "rose flavored" filling is very popular there. You can sometimes buy the filling in a jar at ethnic markets. Miron's was the only market I knew of that sold the rose paczkis. | ||

"I wonder, is the whole paczki thing just native to the Detroit region, or are people stuffing their faces world wide?" Nope, we have the same thing here in Milwaukee. I know it goes on in Chicago too. Milwaukean's would never pass up an excuse to eat some Jelly doughnuts. | ||

I don't think it's pronounced either "poon" or "pun," and I don't know how to write out the sound I learned from my Polish teacher, but it's more of a long "O." | ||

Thanks for the clarification everyone. | ||

i'm sure pronunciation probably is not correct, according to your polish teacher...but i do know that is how people around here pronounce it  | ||
Susanarosa Member Username: Susanarosa Post Number: 1376 Registered: 11-2003 |
Yeah, if a real Polish person says it it sounds more like how you pronounce Pierogi... But poonchki works for this half breed Polish girl. | ||

Paczki Member Username: Paczki Post Number: 11 Registered: 02-2007 |
The best are the raspberry from New Deluxe Bakery on Conant in Detroit (Hamtramck border). When I was a child pazcki day was taken very serious by my grandmother. She made paczki to use up all the sugar, jelly and fat etc. in the house so the house would be emptied of all rich and tempting foods during the lenten season. As good as the paczki from Hamtramck are, nothing can compare to the paczki that were made by my Bushia in her three room flat off of Chene and I-94. | ||
Jrvass Member Username: Jrvass Post Number: 34 Registered: 01-2007 |
I would imagine that the rose flavored paczki is made with rose water. An extract of rose petals that can be made at home or purchased from a druggist. My German grandmother made sugar cookies at x-mas with a about a tsp. per batch. You could taste just a hint of roses in the baked cookie. James | ||

I think "Utica Heights" is just the name of that strip mall. It's about 6 feet higher than, and adjacent to, Van Dyke. Technically, it's in Shelby Township. | ||

No, paczki are not just in Detroit, although the best ones come from the bakeries in Hamtramck. We have them here in Regensburg, they are called "Krapfen" and they usual filling is apricot jam. But you can get rose-hip jam, "Hagenblutenmarmelade" at one little shop in the Altstadt. That is the traditional filling here in Bavaria, but the apricot has become more standard at all of the chain bakeries. But I do miss the prune filled ones that I used to get there. Enjoy your 'real' paczkis today!!! | ||

THANK YOU Awfavre! It's a minor annoyance to hear the people on the news repeatedly say "Paczki's." Mainly because I grew up in a family of hardcore Poles. Paczki - (poonch-key) plural Paczkek- (poon-check) singular Paczki's is not a word, Carolyn Clifford and Robbie Timmons! Brought to you by a concerned Polack. Stepping down off of my pedestal now.

Dbc Member Username: Dbc Post Number: 29 Registered: 09-2006 |
ProfessorJackson is on the right track. The "a" in Paczek/Paczki actually has a tail called an "ogonek" and is considered a "nasal" vowel. It is pronounced like the "on" in the French word monsieur, so a more accurate pronunciation would be "PONE-check." | ||
Dbc Member Username: Dbc Post Number: 30 Registered: 09-2006 |
Oh, and paczki were traditionally filled with rosehip jelly. Not surprisingly, rosehip jelly has a very floral aroma and a nice, delicate taste. The other traditional flavor is prune, which actually has a good, sweet flavor. For what it's worth, I prefer New Deluxe on Conant, New Palace on Campau, or Sunnyside on McNichols, which, by the way, makes a fantastic marble rye. | ||

"No one has mentioned it yet.... so I'll be the spoiler.... they average about 600 calories each!" So what??? They still taste great. I ate six of them on Tuesday. Milwaukee has a number of great Polish bakeries on the south side. I'm glad that I live in a city with tradition and where I can get a real Paczki. | ||

Thanks to all of you who have reiterated my constant battle of Paczki/Paczek. I can't tell you how many time over the years I have corrected the local news media on NOT using the word PaczkiS - doughnutses, right? As to where to get great ones, I'm afraid that Hamtramck has gotten too popular in recent years. They've had to start baking days too early and results are small, hard, almost-stale paczki that are nowhere near as good as when we were kids. My favorites, nowadays, come from Heritage Bakery on Five Mile at Newburgh in Livonia. VERY fresh and SO loaded with raspberry jam that you have to be careful when you eat them (They also offer GREAT pastries, pasties, quiche, and others.) I never heard of the rose filling before. When I was growing up, it was either raspberry or prune and almost no one liked prune. I have to take several dozen in to the office every year. | ||

If you purchase on paczki day and not by pre-ordering, they are always fresh. Sometimes still warm. |
