I made kurtoskalacs this morning while the boys were having breakfast.
What is kurtoskalacs? It’s the famous pastry from Hungary, which in English is called chimney cake. This cake has been trending for the last couple of years, it’s crazy. While it’s always been common to find in Hungary, Romania, and Germany, now you can even find it all over USA, Canada, other European countries, Japan, Dubai, etc.
Kurtoskalacs is made by rotating dough over amber of fire. Originally it’s only sweet, with cinnamon sugar and nuts as the main topping, however in other countries it evolved to savory as well. So today you will find kurtoskalacs served for hotdog and whatnot.
The first time I tried kurtoskalacs was in 2007 when I visited Hungary and only once 😂 It’s pretty cheap when you get them from grocery stores but not so much at festivals, and that’s where I got mine. But of course it makes sense, the one sold at grocery stores aren’t freshly made and most of the time are done using machine instead the traditional way (over fire), while the one at festivals are always done in front of you, fresh, and warm.
I started making my own since 2008. In winter I would make them baked in the oven, in summer grilled on the fire pit in our back yard.
This morning I felt like it but since winter is still here, baked version it was. What so special about kurtoskalacs today, it was my first time veganizing it and it was a success, yay 💃💃💃💃
