[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] food - - "fooshia"

[Leo Gitzel]

My mother made a dish that we called 'kliesel'  (my spelling) that sounds 
similar to what you describe. On searching with Google I came accross a 
Russian website in which there was a recipe for Klizel.  The translated 
version is a bit difficult to follow but it seems to be what you're looking 
for.
