Verguny is a traditional Ukrainian cookie made of fresh unleavened dough, fried in oil. Depending on the regions, the dough and shape of the cookies could differ. For example, traditionally the dough was cut into small rhombuses, then an incision inside was made and the dough was wrapped inside the incision. Also verguny could be cooked in the form of rolls or roses. In the Kyiv version of verguny, in addition to the standard components, rum and almonds were added, in the Konotop version - lemon peel, and so on.
Verguny are often prepared for the holidays, even those that fell during the period of fasting: the girls baked them at the party, the hostess cooked them for Christmas and for the carol-bells singers, the grandmothers - for the grandchildren.
Recently, a museum dedicated to verguny was even opened in the village Chechelevo, Poltava region, where you can learn about the origin of this dessert and the stories associated with it. In addition, the owner of the museum teaches guests to cook traditional cookies
