I like both kinds. My favorite, though, is a sour-cream
cake doughnut with a light glaze. Light enough that the
doughnut is still crispy.

I'm not sure I have a favorite. Today I had a raspberry
paczek, and the tart raspberry offset the sweet and
greasy quite nicely. Bonus: the place made "mini-paczki",
so I could get my paczek without quite so many
empty calories. It was sprinkled with powdered sugar,
although glazed would have been nice.

There's a bakery here that has rose-hip jelly paczki, but
I've never been able to haul myself over there early enough
to get one.

We bake very little, but I prefer to buy quality baked
goods.

I trust my bakery. They have a big window between
the baking area and the sales area. I can press my
nose to the glass and see everything that is going
on in there.
