Slavonic-Style Donuts Are A Traditional, If Uncommon, Gulf Coast Delicacy

March 9, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
One popular Gulf Coast treat does not descend from French, Cajun, Creole, or Spanish cuisines. The pusharata donut’s origins stretch back to the Balkans, specifically a region of Croatia known as Slavonia. The batter is made with flour, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon, then filled with grated apples, oranges, lemons, and raisins. The batter is shaped into balls, fried in hot oil, cooled, then covered with a powdered-sugar glaze. It’s a time-consuming process, but well worth it. A word of warning: eat them the same day they are made or “they will turn as hard as a baseball," Biloxi Mayor Andrew "FoFo" Gilich said.
