The puffy cheesecake resembles a sun, and that’s no coincidence. The history of baking goes back to ancient times, when our ancestors worshipped the Sun God Yarila and in honor of him baked large pies with cottage cheese filling. By the way, the name “vatrushka” appeared much later than the recipe. In the olden days, vatrushka were large and looked like a real pie, filled with sweet cottage cheese. The pastries were considered festive and were usually served on special occasions.
