They are great with sour cream, honey or just tea or milk. And unsweetened donuts are quite suitable instead of bread for any dishes.
Ingredients:
Preparation
Pour salt and half a teaspoon of baking soda into filtered water, stir until the crystals dissolve and add the sifted flour and mix again. The initial consistency of the dough should be like pancakes. Now crush another half teaspoon of soda over the surface of the dough and mix it well. This simple nuance will give the finished crumpets some airiness. Next, add more flour and knead into a soft pliable dough. We make flat cakes out of it, which we roll out with a rolling pin or knead with our hands to a thickness of about ten to fifteen millimeters. We make several cuts along the surface on top.
Fry the crumpets in heated vegetable oil over low heat and serve.
Ingredients:
Preparation
Dissolve granulated sugar, salt and yeast in water heated to a pleasant warmth and let it stand for fifteen minutes in a warm place. During this time, the yeast will begin its work and the mass will foam.
Then add a glass of sifted flour, mix and add melted butter. Add the rest of the flour in small portions and make a soft dough. Knead it for ten minutes, cover with a towel and place in a warm place.
When the volume of the dough has doubled or tripled, we begin baking the donuts.
To do this, pinch off a small amount of it, form a flat cake and roll it out with a rolling pin or your hands. Fry in a heated frying pan with vegetable oil on both sides over moderate heat. Let the rosy donuts cool slightly and serve.

Pyushki are buns made from yeast dough, fried in oil, most often with a hole in the center. They are often confused with donuts, because the difference is actually not too great. They are round, made with yeast dough, and their filling can be varied.
The name “puffy” itself comes from the Slavic word “puff”, which means “to throw heat,” but the name “donut” comes from the Polish “paczek,” which translates as “round sweet fried pie.” Even the decoding of these 2 names has no contradictions.
Our ancestors prepared this dish hundreds and even thousands of years ago, and even today it is popular in many countries around the world. And even if they are not particularly useful for the figure, if you know when to stop them, they will not do any harm.
