Kürtős kalács baked golden brown, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar

Kürtőskalács

Kürtőskalács is a traditional Hungarian sweet, an indispensable part of street markets and fairs. Kürtőskalács is made with special, long strips of dough that are wound around a wooden stick, then the dough is baked to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Almost everyone loves this dish, as the combination of sweet, fresh dough and caramelized sugar provides a special taste experience.

The origin of Kürtőskalács can be traced back to Hungary, but it is also popular in neighboring countries. Making it is not complicated, but it takes a lot of time and patience, as the dough must be constantly rotated over the fire. At the end, Kürtőskalács is sprinkled with sugar or even nuts, so each bite provides a sweet and crispy enjoyment.
