Traditionally, these fried dough discs are served warm, sometimes with a sprinkle of sugar or a side of dulce de leche, making them a comforting indulgence. Today, they are popular not just in Argentina but across various Latin American countries, each adding their unique twist to this simple yet delightful dish.
