Pampushky
Pampushky are traditional Ukrainian deep-fried doughnuts or fritters usually filled with fruit preserves, poppy seeds, or other sweet fillings. They are often sprinkled with powdered sugar and enjoyed as a special treat during holidays or celebrations.
Ingredients
- 1 pound all-purpose flour
- 1/2 pound sugar
- 1/4 pound butter (softened)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 pound milk
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- Oil for deep frying
- Fruit preserves or desired filling
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast with a little bit of warm milk and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter, eggs, salt, and the remaining milk. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
- Add the activated yeast mixture to the dough and knead until well combined. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into small balls.
- Flatten each ball into a disk and place a spoonful of fruit preserves or desired filling in the center. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (180°C). Fry the filled doughnuts in batches until they are golden brown on all sides.
- Remove the Pampushky from the oil and drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Dust the warm Pampushky with powdered sugar before serving.
