In addition to the customary pączki, we were able to try a new treat this Fat Thursday—something its creator called “Polish cannoli.” A local pierogi maker combined his chruściki dough and farmer’s cheese recipes to create these.
The filling of sweetened farmer’s cheese was delightfully tangy and even richer than a ricotta-based Italian cannoli filling.
Fun indulgence. We hope he makes them again sometime.

It is pretty easy to make these sorts of cheeses.

I’ve thought about it
I ended up having a Portuguese Sonho in lieu of a Paczek or Fasnacht on the weekend
I’m familiar with (western/catholic) lent but had never heard of cheesefare week, thanks for sharing.

You’re welcome! the Greek newspaper in Toronto had a recipe for Peinirli, cheese filled flat breads, this week. They are a lot like Khachapuri.

Did you toss them in the air? On Shrove Tuesday, primary schools in England often have these pancake races where hapless parents have to race while tossing a pancake in a pan. It wasn’t my preferred sport.

This was my first time making English Pancakes . I’m not confident enough to toss them in the air. Maybe next time!
I’m not crazy about races of any kind, so I’m glad I didn’t have to take part in that!
