For many of us, lángos is not just a food but a wave of nostalgia, a return to the tastes and smells of the good old times. In this article, I will share with you the true retro lángos recipe, which brings us back to the world of our childhood.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg flour
- 600 ml lukewarm water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 10 g yeast
- 2-3 cloves of garlic (optional)
- Oil for frying
Toppings: Sour cream, grated cheese, garlic oil, or toppings of your choice
Instructions:
- Mixing: Combine the lukewarm water with the sugar and crumble in the yeast. Gradually add the flour and knead the dough by hand. Add the remaining salt while kneading until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.
- Resting: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for about an hour, until it doubles in size. After this, knead it again briefly and let it rest for another 15 minutes.
- Forming: When the dough is ready, form 15-20 dkg (about 5-7 oz) balls, then flatten them with oiled hands.
- Frying: Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Test the oil temperature with a small piece of dough – if it rises immediately and bubbles form around it, the oil is hot enough. Place the flattened dough in the oil and fry each side until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Serving: Remove the lángos from the oil and let them drain. Brush with garlic oil and sprinkle with salt to taste.
- Toppings: Serve with sour cream, grated cheese, or any favorite toppings.
