A few words...

Tiganites are one of the simplest Greek sweet treats and at the same time one of the most delicious. As their name in Greek denotes, they are made exclusively in the pan, and also they are small-sized, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Children love them and prefer them for breakfast, just like the ancient Greeks did – the ancient Greek name was “tiganitis” or “taginias”, from the word “taginon”, which means frying pan.
