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.
For more information, pictures go to this site. They may sell kürtöskalács in your country.

Bejgli



Bejgli is a typical Hungarian christmas dessert. Bejgli is a sweet yeast dough which is filled with poppy and walnuts and then rolled up and baked. Poppy might surprise or astonish some people, but in Hungary we like it and make a lot of cake from it.
Bejgli is a seasonal dessert and only made at christmas time, but no christmas can be celebrated without bejgli. The traditional bejgli is filled with poppy and walnut, but modern versions are also exist such as jam, chesnut, chocolate filled bejgli.
This recipe is from my grandmother who makes poppy and walnut filled bejgli for us every christmas. This year we made it together. We made 6 rolls, but this recipe is just for two rolls and the fillings are for one roll.

Aranygaluska


Aranygaluska is a traditional Hungarian dessert. It is considered more as a second course after a rich soup such as the goulash soup. Aranygaluska is made from sweet yeast dough balls sprinkled with walnut and butter and served with custard.
This recipe is from my grandmother who learned it from her mother. She makes aranygaluska a lot of time for us and we always eat all of it. This is a type of those irrestible desserts that are hard to stop eating.
