I know, you’re saying what the heck is that? And how do you even say it?
Phonetically, it’s sort of like “poonchki.” It’s Polish for a sweet treat similar to doughnut holes. My mother used to make them, particularly on Shrove Tuesday, before Lent begins. I have not had them in probably 30 years.
Agata, Zach’s girlfriend, is from Poland and she wanted to make them for me as a birthday gift. Her recipe was so light, light, light and DELICIOUS!!!
When my mother made them, I don’t think she used a yeast based dough, whereas Agata did and let the dough rise twice. Rolled in cinnamon and sugar, they were heavenly!

Let me ask Agata. I’ll get back to you!
Will you be sharing the recipe? These look just like the kind my busia made when I was little!
Well you got me on “Busia”. I will ask again. Stay tuned to the blog.
Mary, thanks for making me aware of your blog. Now please excuse me while I try to find something close at hand that is anywhere near as appetizing as the mouth-watering morsels depicted in your wonderful photos.
Thanks Allan! Great to see you. Am looking forward to starting your new mystery tonight!
