Paczki in Canadian Oxford Dictionary

While I'm waiting for my Oxford Reference access to be renew through Wikipedia Library, could someone please provide me the full entry for "paczki" from Canadian Oxford Dictionary? Dbfirs was previously kind enough to help me out with a similar request.
Bonus question: if you can find the same word in other English dictionaries, I'd be grateful for the entries as well. — Kpalion^(talk) 10:36, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

The term does not yet have an entry in the Third Edition of the OED, but the Canadian Oxford has "paczki /ˈpʊnʃki/ noun a round doughnut with a filling of jam, prunes, lemon, custard, etc., traditionally eaten by Poles on Shrove Tuesday." The American heritage Dictionary has: "n. pl. paczki A round Polish pastry similar to a doughnut, usually filled with fruit and topped with sugar or icing." Dbfirs 10:51, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, Dbfirs! That was quick. — Kpalion^(talk) 11:12, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

@Kpalion: BTW see images at pl:Pączek ('pączki' is plural of 'pączek'). --CiaPan (talk) 11:33, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
