Servoja

Servoja is a type of traditional Croatian pastry, originating from the Dalmatian region. It is a small, round cake made from a simple dough consisting of flour, eggs, sugar, and sometimes a pinch of salt. The dough is typically rolled out thinly and cut into circles, which are then baked until golden brown. Servoja is often served as a dessert, either plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar. It can also be used as a base for other sweet treats, such as fruit tarts or cream-filled pastries. The name "servoja" is derived from the Croatian word "serva," which means "servant" or "maid," reflecting its humble origins as a simple, everyday treat. Despite its simplicity, servoja holds a special place in Croatian culinary tradition and is enjoyed by many as a nostalgic reminder of home and family.
