Hungarian Lángos (Hungarian Fried Flatbread)

Hungarian Lángos is one of Hungary’s most beloved street foods: a soft, chewy, golden fried flatbread with a wonderfully crisp exterior. 🇭🇺✨

Traditionally served warm with garlic, sour cream, and grated cheese, lángos is simple, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. The photo shows a classic version fried until beautifully golden with melted cheese in the center.
