Langos
I was so delighted to visit Budapest in 2022 when visiting my son in Luxembourg. We took a quickie trip and it was completely gorgeous. I highly recommend a visit if you are ever in the area!
One of the things I kept seeing, (with long lines on all occasions) was Langos everywhere. So much so, that I thought it must be a chain of restaurants. NO...it is a street food of sorts, and so yummy that I was on the phone to Bree in a flash telling her we needed to make them ASAP.
Before I even got home, she was on it and this is the result. So good. The dough is lovely to work with, shallow frying makes it puff up and it is crispy on the outside but soft in the middle. It is better than pizza!
You can top them with anything, but cheese and sour cream seemed to be the most popular. (With good reason!)
You can have sweet ones, anything you would put on a pancake works. There are so many ways to eat this amazing fried dough...What's not to love?
Which way will you go? Sweet or savoury?
