Őznyelv – Deer’s tongue

by | Dec 9, 2016 | Breads, buns & biscuits

Rest assured, neither Bambi nor his relatives fell prey to this recipe. Őznyelv is an old-school confection that was probably named after its form reminiscent of a deer’s tongue. Today confectioneries don’t offer these simple, but amazing sandwich cookies, so if you want to taste them, you have to make them at home.

Őznyelv is made from puff pastry and filled with cooked chocolate or vanilla cream. The dough is rolled out on powdered sugar, but if you don’t want to add sugar to the cookies, feel free to roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface.

The net preparing time is 30 minutes, but the cookies and the filling have to be cooled before assembling the sandwiches, so you will need to wait approx. 80-90 minutes until you can have a bite of deer’s tongue.

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.
