Pyshki are considered the national Russian dish. But few modern housewives know how to cook these fried donuts without a hole.
After all, in order to create a truly delicious dish, it is important to know some secrets of its preparation.
Therefore, if you are tired of spoiling these delicious buns, then it’s time to prepare the right crumpets - experienced housewives are ready to provide the recipe for this dish.
After all, it is better to use the wisdom of real experts once than to try unsuccessfully to prepare this traditional dish a hundred times.
Legends about crumpets
Many believe that this dish is originally Russian. But some nations may argue with this. So, in Poland there was a similar dish and the word “crumpet” comes from “pączek”.
Moreover, this word appeared long before the Russian name. At the same time, old Slavic writings mention sweets made from flour fried in boiling oil.
They were called puffs, because when lowered into the frying pan, the dough made a specific sound - it puffed.
Another piece of evidence in favor of Rus' is the detailed description of the crumpet recipe in the writings of the times of Ivan the Terrible.
In those days, they were traditionally served at the royal table as a traditional dish.
The first news of balls being cooked in boiling oil came to us from Ancient Rome. There they were called “globules”. Further mentions date back to the Middle Ages.
It was at that time that krapfens became popular. These are the same donuts, but with a specific shape of the English “S”.
In those days, these dishes were prepared without filling and this is a classic recipe, popular to this day. Fruit jams began to be added to them only in the 18th century.
There are also versions that donuts were invented by Jews and Americans. In the distant past, the latter even treated postmen to this dish.
But for the USA, donuts are more traditional. In fact, these are the same donuts, but with a hole in the middle.
Tribute to the classics
The traditional crumpet recipe involves preparing the dough in milk.
To prepare, you need to take the following ingredients:
To make the crumpets tasty, it is important to prepare high-quality yeast dough.
Therefore, it is better to use the following step-by-step recipe:
To do this, warm the milk slightly; it should be slightly warm, not hot. Then add yeast, sugar and a tablespoon of flour to it. Leave the resulting mixture for 20 - 30 minutes. You can tell that the dough is ready by the bubbles that appear on its surface.
Add flour, more sugar, a pinch of salt, eggs and margarine to the finished dough. Please note that the latter should be soft, but not melted. Then, fluff the dough a little and send it to a warm corner to rise. Typically, the volume of the mixture increases by 2–4 times. Leave it to rest for about 30 – 60 minutes, it all depends on how it rises.
The risen dough should be divided, just be careful not to make it too stiff.
They are cooked in a frying pan: put it on the fire, pouring in sufficient quantities of refined sunflower oil, as in deep frying. Scoop up the dough with a tablespoon and drop it into the boiling oil. The donuts should brown evenly on both sides.
When removing crumpets from the frying pan, you should first place them on a paper towel to drain the oil. Then place the dessert on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. You can also top them with jam, honey and other toppings.
It is also worth sifting the flour before adding it to the dough. This will make the crumpets cooked in a frying pan more airy.
Modern recipes for crumpets with milk can be more varied. So, you can add fillings, vanillin and cinnamon, as well as cardamom.
Various toppings can be either poured over the top of the dish or introduced into the crumpets. How to do this? It is worth using a pastry syringe.
If there is none, then you can use a medical one for 20 cubes. But keep in mind that it can only be used to add liquid or slightly thick filling. The taste of the dish is simply amazing.
And whoever wants to pay tribute to traditions can easily use a simple classic recipe without pretensions to originality. After all, Russian donuts made with milk are always tasty and tender.
Also, many housewives prepare this dish by adding a couple of tablespoons of sour cream to the dough. At the same time, the finished dish turns out incredibly tender and fragrant.
The dough acquires excellent taste and a richer aroma. Such crumpets began to be prepared by analogy with other desserts.
If you follow the recipe and keep the proportions, you can often achieve a unique taste and delight your loved ones.
Recipe for making crumpets with kefir
Modern housewives love to experiment. Of course, yeast dough, although a classic, is very painstaking to prepare and requires a lot of routine processes.
Therefore, various methods of preparing this dish, characterized by economy and maximum simplicity, quickly began to appear. One of them is a recipe for kefir crumpets.
Why should milk be replaced with this product? Yes, because when cooking with kefir, yeast is not needed.
After all, this drink is a product of natural fermentation and actively interacts with flour, sugar and other ingredients, making the dough more tender and fluffy.
The taste of these crumpets is simply amazing. What can I say! You need to check it yourself! To do this, just follow this recipe.
To make kefir crumpets you will need the following ingredients:
Please note that in this recipe the soda should not be quenched. Just add this component to kefir, along with salt and sugar.
Pour the drink into the dough container and mix with sugar, salt and soda. Gently stir everything until the ingredients are completely dissolved.
When preparing donuts with kefir, it is more convenient to stir it with a fork, because it is important to properly separate the white and yolk, distributing them evenly throughout the mass.
It is important that the dough does not turn out too tough. It should be firm enough to roll out while maintaining a pleasant softness.
It will rise slightly, ready for frying.
It is worth pouring a little flour onto the board. So that the dough does not stick and the donuts turn out beautiful.
Don't make the dough too thin. Raw kefir crumpets should be a couple of centimeters thick. Round molds will help give the dish an appetizing shape. If there are none, then use a cup or glass.
Pour oil (2-3 cm) and heat it over the fire. It's time to put the dough into the hot oil. The donuts in the pan should be browned on both sides.
Preparing the dish for serving is the same as in the traditional recipe. Just sprinkle the finished dish with powdered sugar or pour over sweet sauce, jam or honey. Donuts are always delicious, and those made with kefir are also lighter and more tender.
The best recipes for crumpets on water
Sometimes it happens that the amount of food in the refrigerator is limited, but you really want something sweet.
Or it’s time for fasting, when using milk or kefir in cooking is simply prohibited.
In this case, crumpets cooked in water would be an excellent solution.
This is know-how from modern housewives who love to please their loved ones with delicious food even for no reason.
Donuts, in which milk and kefir are replaced with water, are prepared according to the same principle as the original recipes.
After all, you can easily make yeast dough with pure water. The recipes are the same as the original dishes.
To prepare crumpets using water, you should prepare the following ingredients:
- flour;
- water, it is better to take filtered or bottled;
- dry yeast;
- sugar;
- salt;
- vegetable oil.
The dough can be prepared using the sponge or straight method. It all depends on the yeast chosen. Dry ones can be mixed directly with flour. Accordingly, you don’t need to struggle with the dough and you save about half an hour.
Use warm water to prepare the dough. Sugar, salt and soda are first added to it, and then yeast and flour are added.
Stir the mixture and add softened butter. Knead the dough again and set it aside for 30 - 40 minutes in a warm place.
The mass should rise and double in size. After removing the dough, gently hug it and knead it lightly with your hands.
Donuts are also rolled out on the water. Therefore, divide the dough into several parts, form into balls and roll out on a board.
Shape the donuts and place on a baking sheet. Baking can also be done in a frying pan. Just remember that you can’t put containers with plastic elements in the oven.
The baking time for the donuts is about 10 – 20 minutes – it all depends on the temperature in the oven.
It is also possible to cook crumpets in water without frying. They are simply baked. This way the dish turns out to be more dietary and tender.
But keep in mind that it is important not to dry out the crumpets in the oven, so use an additional baking sheet with water located below the pan with the dough.
Donuts are a delicious dessert that is quite easy to prepare. Knowing these recipes and the subtleties of their use, you can please your loved ones with a traditional dish.

Many people write to me and ask what is the best way to cut the dough? It seems to me that the answer to this question is very easy, cut it the way you like, into circles, squares, little animals (using cutters), stars, you can even make it in the form of brushwood. Some even call these baked goods shortcakes and make them in the form of diamonds.

- Kefir – 350 ml
- Soda – 1 tsp;

- Unrefined oil – 3 tbsp. l.
Cooking method:
1. First, sift the flour.

3. Next, gradually, slowly, add flour in portions. Be sure to stir thoroughly each time to prevent flour balls from forming. When the dough becomes a little like dough, pour in the vegetable oil and then knead the dough with your hands, not with a spoon.
4. The dough should be viscous, slightly sticky, but at the same time soft.
Important! Knead the dough correctly. If you add flour, the baked goods will not rise well during frying! They will look flat and heavy, i.e. not airy.
5. They turn out best when you use the dough not immediately after kneading it, but when it sits for a while and rests. You can, of course, immediately after kneading, roll out the dough and make these charms, nothing bad will happen.
6. So, divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll out each piece into a circle using a rolling pin. And use molds to make round cakes.
7. Fry the babies in a frying pan with vegetable oil until nicely browned. Remove excess fat with a napkin, placing it on a paper napkin.
8. Invite guests to drink tea, because rosy and fragrant babies, like grandma’s in childhood, are ready. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with condensed milk or chocolate spread.

How to make such baked goods in the oven
Everyone is used to making them mainly in a frying pan, that is, frying them in vegetable oil. I decided to experiment and make almost the same dough with sour cream, but just bake this yum in the oven. It also turned out great and incredibly beautiful.
You can call such donuts either cookies or buns. In principle, it’s not that important to me, the main thing is that it’s appetizing. These buns rose just amazing in the oven, I’m delighted, because the dough is yeast-free. How do you like this idea, try baking such culinary creations.

- soda - 0.3 tsp
- salt - a little

1. Quench soda in sour cream. Mix egg, salt and sugar. Then pour the egg mixture into the sour cream. Mix with a whisk
2. Gradually add flour to the mixture.
3. No vegetable oil is added to this option; at a certain moment, when you knead the dough, it will stop sticking to your hands and you will understand that the dough is ready.
4. After kneading, let the dough rest, cover it with a cup, and let it sit for a while.
5. Now divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll out each part with a rolling pin until the dough is about 1 cm thick. Cut it into small rectangular pieces. Something like this:
5. Make curls; to do this, make a transverse cut with a knife in the center of the rectangle, puncture it and turn the rectangle inside out.
6. Place on a greased baking sheet. Brush the top with egg wash. You can add a spoonful of water to the egg yolk to create more lubricant if you are baking a large volume. Sprinkle poppy seeds or cinnamon on top.
7. Bake in the oven at 180-200 degrees until a beautiful crust. Dessert is ready. Cook with pleasure.
By the way, you can still make such beauties in the oven garlic. To do this, you just need to anoint them with garlic oil.
How to make, prepare garlic butter?
Take cloves of garlic, 3-4 pieces are enough. Grate it on a fine grater or pass it through a garlic press. Add this garlic pulp to vegetable oil (5 tbsp) and let it brew. After the delicacies are baked in the oven, spread them with this garlic butter.
I think that during cold and flu season this baking sauce (butter) can be used as a means of fighting viruses. Both tasty and healthy!
Cottage cheese dumplings in a frying pan
This cottage cheese dish tastes wonderful; it personally reminds me of some pleasant cottage cheese product.
To diversify today’s post, I made these curd delicacies in the form of balls. You can also call this dessert cottage cheese donuts. But a completely different article will be devoted to donuts. Probably, it’s just that whoever is used to it calls this sweet pastry that way. For me, cottage cheese donuts are the cousins of donuts.
The ingredients are very simple and are always on hand, so frying this dessert is a pleasure. There is no need to invent and make a huge list of products.
We will need:
- egg – 1 pc.

2. Take baking soda and vinegar. Please note this is the first type in which we must quench the soda, because neither sour cream nor kefir is used here, which means that if the soda is not quenched in vinegar, the finished flour product will have an unpleasant taste and taste like soda. Quench the soda in vinegar.
3. Add slaked soda to the curd mixture. Add more flour and knead the dough. The dough should not stick to your hands. It should turn out soft and tender.
4. Make curd rings from the dough.
5. Fry cottage cheese rings in a hot frying pan with vegetable oil on both sides.

Recently, a friend of mine returned from St. Petersburg and boasted that she 
I ate such buns that I had never tried anywhere else. As it turned out, she was in that very cafe on Pyshechnaya on Zhelubova Street, now it is actually called Bolshaya Konyushennaya Street.
Therefore, when I was writing this note for you, the idea came to me to publish Leningrad (St. Petersburg) buns in this article. I hope you don't mind?! 🙄 This option will be GOST, that is, according to GOST.
This option is simple, but it takes a certain period of time, because the dough is yeast, it must stand. So, how to prepare Leningrad pampushki at home?

Video recipe for puff pastries
I never thought that they could be made into puff pastry. Imagine, but it turns out it’s possible and not even difficult at all. For those who like to watch and listen, I suggest this video:
& It’s best to roll out the dough 1cm thick, then they will definitely be airy and not flat. Do not roll out the dough thinner than one centimeter; they will turn out flat and unappetizing.
& Do not skimp on oil in the frying pan; if it becomes low, add more. Don't be afraid, it won't harm the donuts!
& A mandatory ingredient in this dish is sugar, it is what gives it that golden hue, but don’t overdo it.
& The vegetable oil in the frying pan should be hot, this will help you avoid moisture inside, that is, the baked goods will not be baked.
& To make the dough more fluffy, you can add a little semolina. But I honestly never added it :) I’ll have to try it.
& The secret to the softness and fluffiness of these sweet, rosy treats is the secret ingredient: vodka. Butter baked goods will certainly be softer from this drink.
& You can grease the baby’s ready-made treats with butter or sweet syrup, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. And you can even grease it, oddly enough, with plain water, which will help maintain the softness of the baked goods.
& When frying, always be close to the frying pan, because they fry very quickly, one might say instantly, and if you are a little distracted, the culinary masterpiece can be ruined.
& Serve with tea, jam, preserves or honey. Can be with condensed milk or sweet syrup. Or you can sprinkle it and cook it with cheese, just sprinkle grated cheese on top. In general, a flight of fancy))) and it will be awesome!
P.S.Imagine, I was about to finish writing an article, and then my husband brought me a newspaper, in which I came across English recipe. I'm publishing it.
I’ll say right away that English crumpets are made using yeast, but this option may not be useful for some. Due to the fact that he is interested in instant baking. This option takes a little time, since the English ones are yeast-based.
These beauties can be used and used as a base for sandwiches or burgers. They look quite appetizing. When I tried them, I wanted to dip them in honey. It turned out very cool.
We will need:
- Milk - 3/4 tbsp.
- Butter - 3 tbsp. l
- Salt - 1.5 tsp
- Sugar - 2 tbsp
- Egg - 1 pc.
- Flour - 4.5 tbsp.
- Yeast - 2 tsp;
- Semolina, used for sprinkling
Cooking method:
1. Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let them stand until the cap rises. Next, beat in one egg and melted butter.
2. Then add salt, sugar and flour to the ingredients. Mix everything well.
3. Knead the dough until it becomes elastic. Next, cover the dough and place in a warm place for an hour. Let it rise.
4. Once the dough has doubled in size, make a lot of balls out of it. And then flatten these balls with your hand. You will get small beautiful cakes. Place them on the surface of a frying pan greased with vegetable oil and sprinkled with semolina; semolina will prevent the dough from sticking to the pan. After these steps, you need to let the cakes soften, that is, let them sit for some more time. Cover the pan with a napkin.
5. Now turn on the stove and fry the tortillas on low heat. Don't forget to turn them over to the other side when frying. Have a nice experience!
With this I will say goodbye to you. I hope your tea will be even sweeter now with such a selection of culinary creations. Invite friends, guests and treat each other. All the best and wonderful. Have a nice day my beloved guests and blog subscribers.

Donuts in the oven
A simple recipe for making donuts like grandma’s in the oven. The dish is baked in the oven. Pyushki are made like flat cakes; they can be served instead of bread, eaten with jam, powdered sugar or jam, or served with unsweetened sauce.
The history of the donut-donut controversy has been going on since the beginning of the twentieth century, and to this day, disputes continue over whether this is one product or not.
Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, products made from yeast dough, fried in oil, which have a hole in the middle, and are called pyshki, have been known in Russia. The concept of “donut” appeared in Russia only at the beginning of the twentieth century, and it arose from the Polish word “paszek”, which meant round balls made from yeast dough, filled with or without filling.
The name “puff” is a derivative of the verb “to puff”, to fry in oil. The donut is fried in oil, sprinkled with powdered sugar, but the obligatoryness of the holes in the middle remains in question.
A donut is also a product fried in oil, made from round-shaped yeast dough, sometimes with filling inside (jam, marmalade, marmalade, various creams).
It is believed that the name “pumpkin” is the St. Petersburg name for rings fried in oil, and “donut” is the Moscow name. And the confusion occurred thanks to the “Book of Tasty and Healthy Food,” published in 1932.
Well, be that as it may, the donut donut is a delicious product and is in demand among the people. And we will not stand aside, and will prepare these most tender dishes with a crispy crust.
Pyushki (doughnuts) made from classic yeast dough with milk. In a hurry

(take a glass with a rim of 1 tbsp = 250 ml)
- Flour -2.5 tbsp
- Milk – 200 ml
- Egg – 1 pc.
- Dry yeast - 1 tsp. (with a big slide)
- Sugar – 2 tsp. (with a big slide)
- Salt – 0.5 tsp.

Preparation:
1. First, prepare the dough. Heat the milk to 35 degrees and add yeast and 1 tsp. sugar with a large heap, mix everything and leave for the yeast to rise.
- Sift the flour into a bowl, mix with 1 tsp. sugar with a slide and salt. Beat in the egg and pour in the risen yeast.
- Knead the dough until all the flour is gone, then add 3 tbsp. vegetable oil, and then continue kneading. Knead with a spoon until the mixture sticks to your hands. Knead the dough for 3 minutes. Then, we send the dough to proof, covering it with cling film, for 1-1.5 hours.
- When the dough has risen, grease the table with oil and lay out the dough. We also grease our hands with oil to prevent the dough from sticking to our hands. Form balls the size of a chicken egg. Let it rest for 10 minutes. During this time, our balls will increase slightly in diameter.
- Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it. We take a blank of donuts, make a hole in it, and put it in the oil. The oil should cover the crumpets to the middle. The crumpets are fried on all sides until they acquire a golden color.
You need to regulate the temperature of the oil: if you heat it too much, the crumpets will burn; if you don’t heat it enough, they won’t rise well.
- Remove excess fat from the resulting donuts on a paper towel. The products are sprinkled with powdered sugar, if desired.
- Donuts can be dipped in chocolate, sprinkled with various toppings and whatever your heart desires.
