Gogoși (Romanian: [ɡoˈɡoʃʲ]) are delicious Romanian sweet pastries. They are very similar to filled doughnuts! In some parts of Romania, like Transylvania, people call them pancove. If you are in Bukovina, you might hear them called pampuște. The word gogoși is the plural form of the Romanian word gogoașă ([ɡoˈɡo̯a.ʃə]).
What are Gogoși?
Gogoși are soft, round pieces of dough. They are deep-fried in hot oil until they are golden brown. Unlike some doughnuts, Gogoși do not have a hole in the middle. They have a wonderfully fluffy and airy texture inside. After frying, they are often sprinkled with sweet icing sugar on top.
Delicious Fillings
What makes Gogoși extra special are their yummy fillings! They are often filled with sweet or savory treats. Some popular sweet fillings include:
- Rich chocolate
- Sweet apricot jam
- Tasty strawberry jam
- Creamy cream cheese
You can also find Gogoși with savory fillings. A common savory option is feta cheese. This gives them a unique and delicious taste!
