Krumplis pogácsa – Potato scones

by | Jan 30, 2017 | Breads, buns & biscuits

These scones are light and fluffy and not dry at all, they can be still soft the next day. If you have leftover mashed potatoes, krumplis pogácsa is a good way to use them. The dough is risen and folded only once, it doesn’t need to rest after folding, the scones are cut out instantly.  The top of the scones are scored with a sharp knife, feel free to choose any pattern (crisscross, radial, etc.) you like.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
