Belgian Croustillons/Belgian Doughnuts

Belgian croustillons are spongy doughnuts which is usually sold during exhibitons in Belgium, its somewat like a street food. Belgian peoples goes to exhibition just to buy and have this doughnuts. You may wonder why am talking about Belgian doughnuts today, this week am running blogging marathon with an interesting theme.One dish Three countries is the theme for this week and i will be posting three different doughnuts from three countries, so you might have noticed that i chosed doughnuts as my dish for this theme.

When i chosed doughnuts as my dish for this week's theme, i was searching something different from Europe and thus i found that Belgian croustillons may suit prefectly for theme.I called my friend from Belgium and asked about this dish, she was kind enough to help me to get this recipe from her grandma.Croustillons i have prepared is not the authentic one,Yes the authentic croustillons goes for Belgian beer and it is fried in pork fat (saindoux)or beef fat.But i opted for a no beer croustillons and i fried them in cooking oil. These croustillons are seriously very addictive and one can eat a huge bowl without any hesitation within few minutes.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#38
