piroshki
Stuffed Russian buns
Piroshki are small Russian pastries filled with meat, vegetables, or other savory fillings, then baked or fried.
They're handheld snacks or appetizers, similar to empanadas or hand pies: We grabbed piroshki from the street vendor.
Also spelled pirozhki.
The singular is pirog or pirozhok, though English speakers rarely use it.
