Hungarian Lángos is one of Hungary’s most beloved street foods—a golden, crispy-on-the-outside and wonderfully soft-on-the-inside fried flatbread. Traditionally served hot with garlic, sour cream, and grated cheese, lángos is simple, comforting, and incredibly satisfying.
It is especially popular at Hungarian markets, festivals, food stalls, and family gatherings. Once you make it at home, the combination of fluffy dough, crispy edges, creamy sour cream, and melted cheese is hard to resist.
