Pampushka ( , pl. пампушки uk; diminutive of pampukh or pampukha{{cite encyclopedia | author-link = Max Vasmer

Etymology

The Ukrainian word pampukh comes via Polish pampuch (a kind of thick dumpling or steamed doughnut) from German Pfannkuchen ("pancake"). Similarly to English "pancake", the latter derives from Pfanne ("pan") and Kuchen ("cake"). The diminutive form pampushka is used more frequently than the basic form.

Varieties

Pampushky are made of yeast dough from wheat, rye or buckwheat flour. Traditionally, they are baked, but may also be fried. Savoury pampushky have no filling. They are usually seasoned with garlic sauce and often served as a side dish with red borscht or yushka. Sweet pampushky may be filled with fruits, berries, varenye, povydlo, or poppy seeds, and topped with powdered sugar.

History

According to William Pokhlyobkin, the technology of making pampushky points to German cuisine, and these buns were possibly created by German 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.

Since 2008, yearly Pampukh Festivals have been organised around Orthodox Christmas time (in January) in Lviv.{{cite news | access-date = 2017-03-19 | archive-date = 2021-11-13 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20211113172301/http://photo.ukrinform.ua/eng/current/photo.php?id=590645 | url-status = dead | access-date = 2017-03-19 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170320052200/http://www.lviv.ua/en/calendar/pampuh/ | archive-date = 2017-03-20 | url-status = dead
