Lemon zest: The zest will infuse the dough with a refreshing citrus aroma, balancing the richness of the fat and adding a hint of brightness.
White vinegar: This ingredient helps to tenderize the dough and can also enhance the flavor profile, making the final product even more enjoyable.

Plum or apricot jam: This will serve as the delicious filling for your Salčići, providing a sweet and fruity contrast to the rich dough. You can choose your favorite jam or even experiment with other fruit preserves to suit your taste.
Powdered sugar for sprinkling: A light dusting of powdered sugar on top of the baked Salčići not only adds a touch of sweetness but also gives them an elegant finish, making them perfect for serving at gatherings.
