Pirozhki (plural form of pirozhok Russian: пирожок пирожки which means a little pirog) sometimes transliterated as pyrizhky (plural from Ukrainian: пиріжок) is a generic word for individual-sized baked or fried buns stuffed with a variety of fillings. The stress in pirozhki is properly placed on the last syllable: [pʲirɐʂˈkʲi]. Pirozhok (Russian: пирожок singular) is the diminutive form of the Russian cognate pirog (Russian: пирог) which refers to a full-sized pie.
