According to Wikipedia: “Pączki are deep-fried pieces of dough shaped into flattened spheres and filled with confiture or other sweet filling.”

But we know they are magical miracles of cookery that only appear once a year on Fat Tuesday.  My Daily Limerick is an ode to this delectable gem.

From Poland a long time ago.
Came these wonder-filled circles of dough.
So let out a cheer!
The best day of the year!
Now let’s go stand in line in the snow!
