Krostule

"Krustules is a Croation dessert. This recipe came from my Aunt Pauline. I make it every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas to share with my family. Krustule are time consuming to make, but my family enjoys them so much it is worth the time. Thanks to the first review of this dessert I was able to get the correct spelling of this Croation dessert. (I was spelling it as Krustlers.)"

  1. This is a fabulous recipe and you get delicious results.....just keep rolling...you will eventually get through all that dough! :)
     
  2. This is very nice dessert. We call it in Croatia "KROSTULE". We do not put whiskey in it in Croatia because it is not our traditional strong drink. We would put rakija "lozovaca", nevertheless, it is a great dessert. To answer your question: Vanila sugar can be bought in Croatia (and probbably elswhere) in packages of 10g. It is white christal sugar with vanilla flavor.
