KD Market Preserves Polish Tradition with Authentic Paczki
For 25 years, KD Market, formerly known as Krystyna's Deli, has been a local, family-owned Polish grocery store that is dedicated to preserving Polish tradition and sharing it with the wider community. Their range of Eastern European and domestic products, including smoked meats, freshly baked breads, pastries, and homemade meals, has earned them a reputation as a friendly, local grocery store. However, it is their authentic Paczki that have become the talk of the town.
Paczki are an iconic Polish dessert and a staple of KD Market. They are made fresh daily in-store using an old, traditional Polish recipe that has been passed down through generations. The ingredients include yeast, flour, eggs, milk, sugar, salt, and a small amount of alcohol. However, it is the frying method that sets KD Market's Paczki apart from the rest - they are fried with the traditional plum butter, rosehip or raspberry filling inside, a traditional method that has been passed down through the ages.
At KD Market, preserving Polish tradition is of utmost importance. The use of lard to fry the Paczki is a nod to the past and the way our grandmothers would have done it. Lard has a high smoking temperature, heats up well, and prevents the Paczki from absorbing too much grease, which ensures the pastry retains its unique flavor.
KD Market offers a range of traditional fillings, including plum butter, rosehip or raspberry, and more contemporary fillings such as Nutella, vanilla pudding, black currant, and apricot. The Paczki are rolled into a ball, and fried with the filling inside, to perfection in a pan, and the result is a delicious, unique flavor that distinguishes them from other Polish stores.
At KD Market, they are committed to keeping tradition alive and educating their customers about Polish culture through their food. Their focus on quality and authenticity is what has made them a local favorite for over 25 years.
KD Market is more than just a grocery store - it is a place where Polish tradition and culture is preserved and celebrated. With their authentic Paczki and range of traditional and made from scratch products, they offer customers a taste of Poland that is not found anywhere else.
