Chef's Note
Makarska is located at the foot of Mount Biokovo in a natural harbor. It is the economic, cultural and tourist center of the entire region known as “Makarsko Primorje.” If you stay in one of the many beach destinations in the area, save a little room for these nut and spice-filled dumplings. Here it’s traditional to roll them in granulated sugar once they come out of the oven. And to make them even more tempting, they tend to make them larger than normal here!
