It was nice to come back to the little village of Lumbarda on the island Korčula where I spent all of my childhood. This is where my grandparents, cousins and most of the family resides. It is hard to capture all of its beauty in a few shots, but at least you'll get an idea...Apart from the amazing weather, Adriatic sea and great seafood, there are some traditional pastries which are absolutely outstanding.
The best example would be "Klašun" and "Cukarin". It's sort of a dry cookie, but once you bite into it, it melts in your mouth (when done right). It is traditionally made with lard (I do have a recipe of my own that I need to test out and then I will share it with you) and that's what makes all the difference. Cukarin is sprinkled with granulated sugar and traditionally dipped into the sweet wine "Prošek" not to be confused with Prosecco. Klašun is made from the same dough, but has a super moist walnut citrus filling, which you can see on the photo below...
If your way ever leads you to the Island of Korčula (you better!!) for the best, and most authentic experience try these and a few other delicacies at "Cukarin". You can read a bit more about it on the web site HERE
