I love sharing recipes from my childhood with you guys, and that’s the reason why I have so many Russian recipes shared on this blog. One of these really great recipes that my Mum used to make all the time for us when we were little, is of these fluffy and soft cinnamon and sugar buns. In Russia, they are called Plushki.
WHAT ARE PLUSHKI
“Plushki” is a plural noun, so when referring to only one bun it’s called Plushka! Plushki are simple yeasted buns made with very simple ingredients. The recipe is also perfect for people who just started baking so you don’t need to be an expert, and it requires very little kneading time.
INGREDIENTS REQUIRED TO MAKE PLUSHKI
Ingredients that you need to make these Russian buns are very simple. You will need milk, egg, yeast, vegetable oil, flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. To make the filling, you will need melted butter, ground cinnamon and sugar. Some people like to add sugar only, but Plushki with ground cinnamon are definitely my favourite! These buns can also be made with sugar only, so you can omit the cinnamon if you want simpler tasting buns. They turn out so soft and fluffy. I would recommend enjoying them with a glass of milk or a cup of tea with milk! Now enjoy the video that I made for you to show you exactly how I make my Russian cinnamon buns! © Little Sunny Kitchen
