Pampushka (Ukrainian:пампушка[pɐmˈpuʃkɐ], pl.пампушкиpampushky;diminutive ofpampukh orpampukha[1][2]) is a small savory or sweet yeast-raisedbun ordoughnut typical forUkrainian cuisine.[3][4][5][6]
The Ukrainian wordpampukh comes via Polishpampuch (a kind of thick dumpling or steamed doughnut) from GermanPfannkuchen ("pancake").[2] Similarly to English "pancake", the latter derives fromPfanne ("pan") andKuchen ("cake"). The diminutive formpampushka is used more frequently than the basic form.
Pampushky are made of yeast dough from wheat, rye or buckwheat flour. Traditionally they are baked, but may also be fried.[3][4][5][6] Savoury pampushky have no filling. They are usually seasoned withgarlic sauce and often served as a side dish with redborscht or yushka.[3][5][6] Sweet pampushky may be filled with fruits, berries,varenye,povydlo, or poppy seeds, and topped with powdered sugar.[4]
According toWilliam Pokhlyobkin, the technology of making pampushky points to German cuisine, and these buns were possibly created byGerman colonists in Ukraine. They spread through the country in the second half of the 19th century and later reached the status of a Ukrainian traditional dish.[6]
Since 2008, yearly Pampukh Festivals have been organised aroundOrthodox Christmas time (in January) inLviv.[7][8] During the festival in 2012, aGuinness world record was set by building the world's largest mosaic made of doughnuts.[9]
