Advice

Keep the batter sticky and don’t over-flour—wet dough = airy centers. Maintain oil at 175–180°C; too cool and ustipci absorb oil, too hot and they brown before cooking through.

Why it works

A loose, enriched batter traps steam for puff; quick rise + gentle frying gives a tender interior and thin, crisp shell.

Twist

Savory kafana vibe: fold in 2 tbsp chopped scallions and a pinch of pepper; or brush hot ustipci with garlic oil and serve with kajmak.

Status

Kafana snack magic—warm ustipci that disappear the second they hit the table. #grannyzen #bosnianappetizer 🍞🫶
