Inhereted by the former Hungarian region of Transylvania, Kürtőskalács is a sweet bread rolled onto a wooden stick and cooked on a charcoal fire or baked in modern ovens.
This delicacy can be found in pastry stores or on the streets. I had mine just outside the Royal Palace in Budapest.
The name refers to the chimney, in fact kürtőskalács is also known as the chimeney cake.
It can be eaten simple as it is with a taste of vanilla or with additional topping such as walnuts, cinnamon, chocolate, almonds. Everything is caramelized in order to chew a crispy crust.
Yummy!
As for me, I had again the chance to try this food in Italy during a fair dedicated to the artcrafts coming from all over the world to Milan.
