About the Recipe
Mazurek is a traditional dessert that is served for Easter. It has many different flavors, and can be made almost with anything.
I really like caramel or dulce de leche in Polish KAJMAK - which is made from cooked condense milk. I like however add different flavors to it like chocolate and chili.
Ingredients
For the dough
3 cups of flour
1 tbsp of baking powder
1 bag of vanilla sugar (or a 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1 tbsp of sugar)
