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.
