Hungarian Lángos Recipe

Hungarian Lángos is one of the country’s most beloved street foods—a golden, deep-fried flatbread with a crisp exterior and wonderfully soft, chewy center. Traditionally served warm and generously topped with garlic, sour cream, and grated cheese, lángos is simple, rustic, and incredibly satisfying.

Found at Hungarian markets, festivals, fairs, and family kitchens, this classic fried bread has become an iconic part of Hungarian food culture.
