Obwarzanek pancake served with poppy seeds or sesame seeds

Obwarzanek Pancake

The Obwarzanek pancake is inspired by the famous Polish Obwarzanek pastry, which is a blanched and baked ring-shaped dough. The traditional Obwarzanek is one of Kraków's most famous street foods, made and sold in local markets for centuries. This version evokes the classic texture but is pan-fried, making it quicker to prepare and giving it a particularly crispy texture. The dough, sprinkled with poppy seeds or sesame seeds, can be enjoyed with a slightly salty or sweet addition, making it perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
