A little tradition has developed in our
family over the past few months which has been rather lovely. Well actually rather delicious
also. Every Sunday morning my parents
go to the Takapuna Sunday markets.
They bring these Hungarian delicacies to us from the markets and we absolutely
love them! Here is a little information about them….
The worldwide famous Kürtöskalács is a traditional
Hungarian pastry originated from Transylvania. A very funny renaming of the Kürtöskalács, is on the web: the "Barbecued Chimney Cake".
Kürt
is Hungarian for horn and kalács
means milk bread.
These tasty Transylvanian treats are giant rolls
made of dough covered with caramelized sugar and walnut, coconut and many other
toppings. Kürtöskalács is made
in smaller rolls too (the first two photos), so people can taste more flavors.
We love the cinnamon and sugar coated ones
but they come in all different flavours.
The kids like the hundreds and thousands sprinkled ones also.
Our kids call them chimneys (much to the
Hungarian’s disgrace I am sure).
It is so cute I am starting to get early Sunday morning texts asking “what
flavour Chimneys do you want today?”
So here are some photos of our latest ‘Chimney’
deliveries.
We love you Mum and Dad for all you
do! Our kids will never forget
little things like these!
