Scovergi | Traditional Fried Dough From Romania, Southeastern Europe | TasteAtlas

Scovergi

Scovergi is a traditional fried flatbread. Similar to the Hungarian lángos, the Romanian scovergi is usually made with a combination of flour, yogurt, yeast, eggs, salt, and oil. The flour, yogurt, eggs, salt, water, and yeast are mixed into a sticky dough that's left to rest in the fridge before it's rolled into circles and fried in hot oil on both sides over medium heat until golden.


The flatbreads are then typically arranged on a plate and covered with kitchen paper or cloth before serving so that they don't dry out and become too crisp. Scovergi are usually enjoyed as a snack, and they can also be sprinkled with grated cheese, if desired.
