Golden fried dough puffs loved across the Balkans: a soft, sticky yeast dough dropped by the spoonful into hot oil, crisp outside and cloud-soft inside. Serve them warm with young cheese, kajmak or jam — breakfast rarely gets this kind of applause.

Instructions
- 1

- 2

- 3
Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled.
- 4
Heat 3–4 cm of oil in a deep pan to about 170 °C — bubbles should gather around a wooden spoon handle dipped into it.

Using two spoons dipped in oil, drop egg-sized dollops of dough into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning, until deep golden all over.
