Pampushki with jam

At home in Crimea we always had 12 Lenten dishes for Christmas, of which kutya was obligatory and indispensable. But when I went to Lviv for Christmas, I learned that the second obligatory Christmas dish is pampushki with jelly, which are called pampukhi there. These are oil-fried patties made of yeast dough and filled with thick jam or povidla. I must admit, it is very caloric, but also very tasty. The dough in pampushki is very soft and tender. Keep in mind, the thicker the filling, the less the dough will soften, it is ideal to take jam. In general, expand your Christmas menu with pampushkas - they are delicious and everyone will like them!
