About Ustipci

Uštipci are a traditional dish from the Balkan region, particularly popular in Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian cuisines. These fluffy, fried dough balls are often made with simple ingredients like flour, eggs, milk, baking powder or yeast, and a pinch of salt. Depending on preferences, recipes may incorporate yogurt for added richness or sugar for a slight sweetness. Uštipci are usually served as a breakfast treat, snack, or dessert, paired with jam, honey, or cheese. While they are delightful and satisfying, uštipci are typically fried in oil, making them energy-dense and higher in fats. Moderation is key when enjoying this comfort food, as frequent consumption may contribute to calorie surplus. On the positive side, they provide carbohydrates for quick energy and protein from eggs for a balanced macronutrient profile. Homemade versions allow for healthier adjustments, such as using whole-grain flour or reducing added fats.
