A donut - just round or in the form of a chubby donut - looks like a familiar donut, or donut. However, unlike foreign delicacies, crumpets are a truly Russian dish, known since the 18th century.

Donuts on kefir are a simple dish, but with a history. I make exclusively yeast dough for them, but for softness and splendor, I prefer to add yolks, not whole eggs. And be sure to have a couple of spoons of melted butter. Such donuts do not stale for a long time, but, however, it is not always possible to verify this. Brownies disappear in a matter of minutes.

The word "pyshka" comes from the Slavic "puff", which, in turn, means "pour over with heat." Indeed, a hot donut, fresh from a hot frying pan, can seriously burn someone who seeks to feast on it. Nevertheless, it is in this form that ruddy buns taste best, so they are best eaten in the heat of the heat.
