пампушки pampushky; diminutive of pampukh or pampukha[1][2]) is a small savory or sweet yeast-raised bun or doughnut typical for Ukrainian cuisine.

[3][4][5][6] The Ukrainian word pampukh comes via Polish pampuch (a kind of thick dumpling or steamed doughnut) from German Pfannkuchen ("pancake").

[3][5][6] Sweet pampushky may be filled with fruits, berries, varenye, povydlo, or poppy seeds, and topped with powdered sugar.

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 around Orthodox Christmas time (in January) in Lviv.
