Do whatever you have to in order to figure out how to say it, but Kürtőskalác is hands down one of the more delicious desserty foods I have experienced in my time abroad. This sweet treat comes from Budapest, Hungary, and is the traditional cake served at Hungarian weddings. There were no weddings I went to, but I was told by a very reliable source that despite the lack of occasion, I needed to try a Kürtőskalác. The process to make it is very simple: Roll some dough thin, slice it into thin stripes, then wrap them each around a roller and bake it. Afterwards it is rolled in your topping of choice (cinnamon...duh) and voila! Check the pictures below for the process. I had three over the course of my three days in Budapest (not by myself of course), although I had thought twice about sharing. They were outrageously cheap as well, with the conversion working out to just around 1.50 euro per roll. The fact that this delicacy is quick to make, easy to make, cheap to buy, and incredibly enjoyable to eat makes Kürtőskalác something I may return to Hungary for. My goodness. Wow. Just thinking about it makes me salivate.
