Hungarian chimney cakes

A childhood favorite of mine, this yeasty dessert called "kurtos kalacs" is usually prepared outdoors over the embers of a dying fire. Dough flavored with lemon and vanilla is rolled onto a buttered wooden cylinder, coated with sugar and cooked until the dough is soft and tender and the outside is coated with crisp caramel. The hot product is then rolled in flavored sugar again and served immediately. One could also buy these cakes from various street vendors, but sometimes they are rolled too thin and become overly crispy, other times they are made ahead and become stale. Making the dessert at home is not as hard as it may seem, and this way one can optimize it to their taste. Ingredients 250 g flour 0.25 tsp salt 1.5 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp vanilla sugar 1 egg 120 mL milk 1 tsp yeast 25+ g butter 1 tsp lemon zest 1 tsp cinnamon Preparation Mix the warm milk with the sugar, sprinkle the yeast on top. Bloom the yeast. In a mixer with the dough hook add the flour,

Hungarian cottage cheese pastry

These delicious, moist and fluffy pastries are similar to Danishes, but the cottage cheese filling makes them less fatty and richer in protein. I enjoyed eating them for breakfast, but they are perfect as dessert, too. And for some reason I keep calling them Hungarianishes...when they really should be cottage cheese hungarians :-) I also have to mention, this is one of the best doughs I have ever worked with. Ingredients dough: 500g flour 300mL lukewarm milk 1 pinch salt 2 tbsp sugar 75g butter 2 egg yolks 2 tsp yeast filling: 250g Hungarian cottage cheese 2 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp vanilla sugar grated zest of a lemon 1 tbsp sour cream 1 tbsp semolina 1 egg glaze: 1 egg white 1 tbsp water Preparation Bloom the yeast in a portion of the milk with the sugar. Meanwhile, sift the flour and cut in the butter. Add in the eggs and the yeast mixture, as well as the remaining milk and the salt. Knead until smooth. Coat with oil and allow to double in size. Meanwhile, mix the filling. When the dough i

Hungarian cottage cheese pie

Turos pite, or cottage cheese pie, is a delicious Hungarian dessert. Many recipes circulate, but this one is my favorite. Ingredients dough: 250g flour 0.5 package baking powder (0.5 tsp?) 100g sugar 0.5 packet vanilla sugar 1 pinch salt 1 egg yolk 125g butter 50mL sour cream filling: 250g farmers cheese 100g sugar 1 packet vanilla sugar 1 egg yolk 200mL sour cream 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest 2 egg whites Preparation Mix the dry ingredients for the dough, then add the wet ones and knead together. I usually soften the butter in the microwave. Add more sour cream if necessary. Form into two balls and refrigerate. Allow to rest for 30 minutes. Mix the ingredients for the filling until smooth, with the exception of the egg whites. Beat those into a foam and add at the end. Roll out the dough balls, and lay down one into a 9x11 inch baking shape lined with one piece of baking paper, that hangs over on the sides. This will allow removal of the cake later. Pour in the filling and cover wi
