Fried Mini Breads

"Make yours a perfect bite with these savory pastries with a hundred names: Balkan fried mini breads. No food, not even pita, has as many names as these Balkan fried mini breads. Peksimeti is what they’re most frequently called. Yet they’re also called lokumi, mekeke, uštpici… even poderane gaće which in colloquial means ‘ripped underwear.’ This last, strange name, is due to soft dough, in the days of our grandmothers, having been “ripped” with hands before being thrown on some very hot oil. No worries, we’ll be cutting our dough to avoid the association.:)"
