Kelešica

Kelešica is a traditional cake without any fillings. It originates from the region of Međimurje. The cake is made with flour, pork fat, sour cream, sugar, and milk, although there are numerous versions of kelešica and ingredients may vary. When the dough is ready, it should be rolled and cut into desired shapes. It is then baked in the oven until golden brown on top. If desired, kelešica can be sprinkled with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. This traditional cake is simple, easy to prepare, and inexpensive, which is why it is often considered a peasant dish.
