Исходное описание на английском языке. Русский перевод ещё не добавлен.

Herovke are traditional sweet treats from Vojvodina, and they are especially popular in the region's Slovak community. They are made with flour, sugar, egg yolks, salt, sour cream, and rakija (local schnapps). The dough shouldn't be too hard nor too soft. It is rolled thinly and cut into strips. The strips are rolled into small balls, and they are then placed inside a special tool (a long spoon with a rounded, pierced top part, which can be opened) before being deep-fried in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. After the deep-frying process, herovke are rolled in powdered sugar and vanilla sugar. It is recommended to shake herovke well so that the sugar also comes to the interior of these crispy balls. In the old days in the Slovak community, herovke used to be prepared for weddings, where they were brought instead of big wedding cakes. There is also a savory, salty version of herovke, but it is not as popular as the sweet one.
