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.)
