I got this Krostule recipe from a friend whose family has been living on the island of Krk for generations, and the name of her mother’s original recipe is Kroštuli. I saw on the internet that there are also recipes for crunchy Krostule that I would also like to try, but these are soft, because…

Dark Chocolate Doughnuts
It’s time for masquerades and Croatians always making doughnuts at this time of year. So I remembered this old, family recipe for Dark Chocolate Doughnuts. Dark Chocolate Doughnuts are crustily on the outside, but soft on the inside, wrapped in chocolate powder and small enough to fit in one bite. These special donuts are perfect…
Grandma’s Apple Pie
Grandma’s apple pie is a dessert whose recipe dates back to around 1900 year. It is easy to make, and what is very special about it is the merignue foam which goes on the top, because it’s not hardly bitten, only little bit. So it stays like liquid and you must pour it on the…
Honey Cookies
Honey Cookies recipe I got from lokal beekeepers from Turopolje, it’s their traditional recipe and these cookies are very simple to make. This old recipe belongs to their grandmother, and she didn’t have electric mixer, so you don’t need to have one either. This dough can be kneated and you can use your hands only….
Ice Cube Cake
Ice Cube Cake with the addition of honey. Since this cake is a replica of the popular Croatian Fontana chocolates, which have a refreshing taste, in this recipe is necessary to put lemon aroma, so you can get this specific ‘ice’ refreshing aroma. So, instead of adding a lemon, I changed this recipe a little…
Marzipan Cake

Honey Pie
Recipe for traditional Honey Pie is not easy, so I wouldn’t recommend it to beginners. However, if you still decide to devote this Honey pie a little effort and time, you will be delighted with the taste of honey-flavored dough and excellent cream. This old-fashioned recipe I picked up from my grandmother’s notebook, but after…
‘Pop in tomorrow again’ cookies
The original recipe for these old-fashioned cookies is: ‘as much cream as fat, as much flour as it absorb.’ For my grandmother this was a good enough explanation, but I wrote a little more detailed recipe :) Ingredients for ‘Pop in tomorrow again cookies’: 1 cup of sour creme (180 g) 1 cup (the same…

Smarne are similar to pancakes, but much more easier to make. You can eat Smarne with something sweet, like honey or jam, but you can also eat them in salty version, with cream cheese and lettuce salad. Ingredients for Šmarne (for 2 persons): 1 egg 2 dcl of milk 100 g of flour a pinch…
