Ruchanki

Ruchanki is a flat, oval racuszki from bread dough (providing a light sour taste) or sponge cake (sweet taste), fried on hot fat.

Formerly, ruchanki were produced from leftover bread dough. The rye bread dough version was popularly eaten instead of bread for breakfast. Ruchanki baked from wheat flour and yeast were traditionally baked for carnivals. These are served hot, topped with powdered sugar or white sugar. In Kashubia these are served with apples.
