Croatian Pusharatas


A pusharata is a bite-sized nugget of fried dough with chopped fruit and spices—simply put, a sort of Croatian donut or fritter. In this Greenhouse Film by Meaghin Burke, you’ll meet the women of the Slavonian Ladies’ Auxiliary in Biloxi, Mississippi, who carry on the food traditions of their Croatian-immigrant forebears by frying and glazing thousands of pusharatas during the Christmas season.
