Mudlini

Mudlini is a Croatian dish originating from northern parts of the country – a famous legend connects the dish with the village of Peteranec. The dish consists of flour, water, salt, and eggs. The dough is rolled and then cut into triangles and cubes. After the dough has been formed, mudlini are cooked in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes. They are then drained and combined with sour cream, and the whole concoction is shortly fried on pork fat. In the past, mudlini were traditionally eaten by men after a hard day of working in the fields. They used mudlini as an accompaniment to various cold cuts, cornbread, and sour milk. Mudlini can also be prepared in a sweet version, when they are served with a combination of walnuts and sugar or poppy seeds and sugar.
