Ingredients

Method

  1. In a saucepan, combine milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.
  2. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes until the kajmak forms a thick layer on top.
  3. While the kajmak is cooking, prepare the priganice. In a bowl, mix flour and butter until crumbly. Add water gradually to form a soft dough.
  4. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, then let it rest for 10 minutes. Roll out the dough and cut into small circles.
  5. Fry the priganice in hot oil until golden brown on both sides.
  6. Serve the kajmak warm with the priganice and a drizzle of honey or jam.
