Hungarian Wedding Cake
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010Ingredients;
Dough
• 250 ml milk lukewarm
• 50 grams Sugar
• 20 gram Yeast
• 1 large Egg
• 500 gram Butter melted
• 500 gram Flour
Walnut Glaze
250 gram Butter melted
• 20 gram Sugar
• 50 gram walnuts ground
Directions;
Dissolve the yeast and 3 tablespoons of the flour in the lukewarm milk. Let rise for half an hour. Mix in the egg (and butter), knead into the remaining flour and let rise for 1 hour. Mix sugar and walnuts together.
Make long strips from the dough. Apply a thin layer of oil or butter to the baking tool and wrap the dough strips around it. Tuck in the ends and press it together a bit with your palms so it won’t unroll. Grill it over charcoal — medium heat. Brush with melted butter while it is grilling. When it is half finished (light golden color), roll it in the ground walnut and sugar and grill it till it has the golden brown color seen on the photo.
When finished, tap the tool on a hard surface with the pointed edge down and the cake will slide off “smoking like a chimney”.
