Kürtöskalács

The real traditional kürtöskalacs is cooked over open fire, but we can also make kürtöskalács in the oven, although it will not be exactly the same. The hungarian kürt means horn which refer to the pastry's shape, while kalács means a sweet bread. This kalács dough is used for the kürtöskalács.
Since this is just an imitation of kürtöskalács, if you have a chance try the real one. It is amazing. There are many types of flavor: vanilla, cinammon, walnut, cocoa, coconut etc.
