Polish Paczki Recipe – Preparation:
- Warm the milk slowly. Mix yeast with 2 tablespoons of sugar until it turns into a liquid. Then add the yeast to the milk.

- Mix egg whites with sugar and vanilla sugar, a little salt, grated orange zest, and liquor. Add this to the cake that has risen. Mix everything together and then add the melted butter. Work the dough with your hands until it starts to separate.
- Cover the paczki dough with a cloth and sprinkle it with a little flour. Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
Filling Of Plums:
- Put the plum jam in a pan and add the orange juice and zest that has been grated. After a few minutes of cooking, the liquid should be gone. Let the sauce for the plums cool down.
Putting The Paczki Together:
- Once the dough has risen, knead it again, gently roll it out, and cut it into 6 cm rounds.
- In the middle of each circle, put plum filling. Fold them in half and roll them into small balls to seal them. Cover the paczki with a cloth and set them on a floured board. Let them rise for about 20 minutes.
