We had them for breakfast, served with the traditional lemon and sugar.

They can be filled with various flavours of jelly or (my favourite) custard. I erred in adding an "s" to the end of paczki since that is the plural of a single paczek (pronounced "pohn-check." They are a staple around Michigan prior to the beginning of Lent and there are often long lines at bakeries to buy them. They are to die for--and with all the fat and cholesterol in them, I mean that quite literally! They are a real "red-light" food for me!
