Pączki

All-purpose flour does the heavy lifting here, with milk rounding it out. A Polish snack that takes 120 minutes, start to finish. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 7 grams of protein per serving. Naturally vegetarian, it scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 Eggs
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 2 tsp Active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Rose jam
• 6 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Steps

1. Make an enriched dough with the yolks, warm milk, melted butter, and sugar; knead 10 minutes until silky.
2. Rise 1 hour until doubled; the dough should be soft and pillowy.
3. Divide into 12 balls, flatten, spoon in rose jam, and seal firmly — a leaky pączek is a tragedy.
4. Rise 30 minutes more until puffy; they should feel full of air.
5. Fry in 350-degree oil 2 minutes per side until deeply golden with the pale signature ring.
6. Toss in powdered sugar while hot; eat the same day, still slightly warm.
