CROksi

CROksi is a Serbian term that can refer to several things, primarily a type of small, fried dough. It is often described as a savory pastry, similar in concept to fritters or a type of pancake, but typically made with a simpler batter. The dough is usually made from flour, water, and sometimes eggs, and is then deep-fried until golden brown.

The exact preparation and ingredients for CROksi can vary significantly from region to region within Serbia, and even from household to household. Some recipes may include leavening agents for a slightly puffier texture, while others are denser. They can be served as a standalone snack, a side dish, or even as a breakfast item. Often, CROksi are seasoned with salt, but sometimes herbs or spices are added to the batter.

Beyond its culinary meaning, CROksi can also be used colloquially in Serbian to describe something small and round, or sometimes as a diminutive or affectionate term for something. However, its most common and widely understood meaning relates to the fried dough snack. The simplicity of its preparation and ingredients makes it a traditional and accessible food item in Serbian cuisine.
