Sišky or pampúchy (Slovak donuts) are commonly served during Slovak carnival or Mardi Gras celebrations. Here's a recipe from our friend, Lubos Brieda's Slovak cooking blog. It also includes the Slovak fairy tale (rozprávka) which tells the story of a small pampúch, pampúšik.  Enjoy the story and recipe here: http://www.slovakcooking.com/2011/recipes/homemade-donuts-sisky/
