Hungarian Lángos is one of the country’s most beloved street foods—a crispy, golden fried flatbread with a soft, airy center. Traditionally served warm and generously topped with garlic, sour cream, and grated cheese, it is simple, comforting, and incredibly satisfying.
Whether you enjoy it at a Hungarian market, festival, or make it at home, freshly fried lángos is hard to resist.
