Golden, soft and beautifully shaped, round pretzels are simple to make at home, yet look like something straight from a bakery window.

Today, I present the traditional “piaci lángos” – the classic version sold at Hungarian markets and festivals.

Drunken scones – Részeges pogácsa

Eszter — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 08:29:01 +0000

Drunken scones earn their whimsical name not because they contain any alcohol, but due to the way the dough behaves during baking. The secret lies in the folding technique: as the dough is repeatedly layered and folded with cold butter, the layers slip and shift as they bake, giving the scones a slightly tipsy, “drunken” […]
