Paczki make up the Fat Tuesday diet. Get your hands on some before Lent begins Wednesday.
National Bakery MILWAUKEE (CBS 58)—Sweet indulgence rules the day on Tuesday. It's the day before Lent begins. One dietary necessity is the beloved Polish donut known as the Paczki. So many hometown bakeries, including National Bakery, will be selling thousands of them. Typically, like so many bakeries, National sells four flavors, including prune, lemon, raspberry, or raisin. But this year, you can one more to the list. Brandy Old Fashioned. The bakery itself is coming off its 100th anniversary from last year, so the owners thought it would be idea to do something different to celebrate this special day. Central Standard Craft Distillery is the partner with this endeavor too. Click here to see many of the Hometown bakeries selling these pastries today, courtesy of Milwaukee Magazine.
