Dober Kurtos Kalacs
For those of you who have never heard of Kürtős Kalács it is a delicious pastry made entirely from natural ingredients. The uncooked pastry is wrapped like a ribbon around a wooden cylinder or roller and then baked in a purpose made Kürtős Kalács oven (Chimney Cake oven).
These are just some of the names which are used when referring to the twisted pastry........
...Kürtős Kalács.
If you read travel reviews about Hungary or Romania you will discover that many people mention this tasty treat which can be purchased from markets, specialist shops or street kiosks. In Slovakia and Czech Republic they make a similar product which is called Trdelnik, or Skalicky Trdelnik which is hugely popular with tourists.

Once cooked, the hot, sticky pastry is rolled in a topping such as sugar and cinnamon, walnut, chocolate or coconut. A savoury version can also be made with toppings such as garlic and herbs, or ham and cheese. There are simply endless possibilities.
Kürtős Kalács is often referred to as a ‘Chimney Cake’ as the final shape resembles chimney and when removed from the oven steam rises from the funnel of the cake just like a chimney!
