Dietary considerations

Sushki are not suitable for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, as they are made with wheat flour. They are also high in carbohydrates and calories, so should be consumed in moderation.

Presentation and garnishing

Sushki can be presented in a bowl or on a platter. They can be garnished with sesame seeds or poppy seeds for added flavor and texture.

Tips & Tricks

To make the perfect sushki, be sure to boil the dough rings for the right amount of time. Over-boiling can cause them to become mushy, while under-boiling can cause them to be too hard.
