A Vatrushka is a Russian/Ukrainian bun that is filled with a filling on the outside. Vatrushki are sweet Russian pastries made with a yeast dough and filled with cheese filling. Plump, sweet, fragrant vatrushkas are a perfect fit for your holiday table as well as your daily cup of tea. When the cheese filling is sweetened, raisins or pieces of other dry or fresh fruits can be added to create a more interesting flavor. Occasionally jam, fruit preserves, mashed vegetables, or even ground meat is used as filling instead of cheese although the resulting pastry should not be really called vatrushka.
