The number one reason I booked a trip to Budapest for my birthday was to satisfy my cravings for Lángos, a Hungarian deep fried bread, that I had actually eaten growing up in Kenya as it was a recipe my friend’s mum always made when we went over to her house.
You can get so many different variations of toppings now and you also get Lángos burgers!
I could honestly eat them everyday!

WHAT ARE LÁNGOS?
Lángos is famous Hungarian street food, which is basically a fried bread dough. The basic dough is made of water (or milk), yeast, flour and salt. The yeast creates air bubbles in the dough. They are fried in oil and usually served with toppings.
For Hungarians, the most popular topping is cheese and sour cream. And an extra garlic sauce on the dough before adding the topping. This is also my favourite way to eat them.
The other popular toppings are sausage, ham, onion, goat cheese or alternatively, even sweet lángos, served with Nutella or jam.If you are planning a trip to Budapest save this post and go and try Lángos at:
