Zlevanka


Zlevanka is a Croatian and Slovenian traditional dessert dish made from corn flour and other ingredients. Sweet and salty versions of the dish exist. It's part of the cuisine of Northern Croatia and the northeastern Slovenian regions of Prekmurje and Prlekija.
Historically, it was considered a "dish for the poor".
The name zlijevka comes from the way the dense mixture of the ingredients is poured into the baking tray.

Preparation

The ingredients - mainly including corn flour, milk, sugar, eggs - are combined into a dense mixture which is poured into a baking tray coated with oil or grease. Cream is added in lumps on top of the mixture with a spoon, and then baked at 180-200°C. Sometimes, grated apples or jam are used instead of cream.
