Požeški pijanci

Pijanac is a traditional cake originating from the city of Požega. The cake is made with flour, eggs, egg yolks, fat, and sugar. The dough is then cut into pieces which are shaped into coils with a hole in the middle. After the cakes have been baked, the tops are dunked into egg whites and sugar, and they are then left to dry in the oven. In the past, pijanci were traditionally consumed in the afternoon while drinking wine with friends and neighbors, and the cakes used to be dunked in wine before consumption, hence the name pijanci (lit. drunks).
