Gogoși (Romanian: [ɡoˈɡoʃʲ]), [1] known as pancove in Transylvania and pampuște in Bukovina, [2] are Romanian sweet pastries similar to filled doughnuts. Gogoși is the plural form of the Romanian word gogoașă ( [ɡoˈɡo̯a.ʃə]).
Gogoși are pieces of dough shaped into a flattened sphere that are deep-fried in oil and optionally dusted with icing sugar. [3] They have a fluffy and airy consistency, no hole and are often filled. Gogoși fillings include chocolate, apricot jam, strawberry jam, cream cheese, or feta cheese.
