Paszteciki

Polish paszteciki are popular pastries or rolls consisting of either yeast-risen or buttery dough that is wrapped around various fillings such as mushrooms, cabbage, or minced meat. While these baked delicacies are a part of the traditional Polish cuisine and were initially paired with various hearty soups (especially the Christmas beet soup), in the 1960s, the unique pasztecik szczeciński was developed. This machine-produced, deep-fried paszteciki version immediately gained popularity, and today it is officially listed as a traditional Polish product that can only be made following the traditional recipe.
