Paczki Facts
The word paczki means “little packages.”
“Paczki” is plural; one pastry is a paczek (POON-check).
In Poland, the last Thursday before Lent begins is called Fat Thursday.
Paczki in Poland are much smaller, about half the size. There’s also a lot less filling; about a teaspoonful.
Depending on the size, paczki can have as many as 400 calories and over 20 grams of fat.
