Whenrepparttar 150517 cake is cool, trim edges and cut into squares. Dust with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream if desired.

Another classic recipe is rétes (strudel). Although many Hungarians make strudel dough by hand—a long and messy process—filo pastry fromrepparttar 150518 freezer section doesrepparttar 150519 trick.

Other rétes fillings include:

Another favorite sweet main dish my grandmother made wasrepparttar 150531 Hungarian version of rice pudding, usually served with a white wine sauce. This was a Friday favorite.

Rizskoch (Rice Soufflé)

Butter/oil spray for baking dish A handful of breadcrumbs 350 g short grain rice 1 liter milk A pinch of salt 100 g butter 120 g icing sugar 3 eggs, separated

Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare an over proof dish by greasing with butter. Place rice and milk into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook over gentle heat, stirring often, untilrepparttar 150532 rice is half cooked. Setrepparttar 150533 rice aside to cool slightly. Mixrepparttar 150534 butter, sugar, and egg yolks and mix intorepparttar 150535 half-cooked rice. Beatrepparttar 150536 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold intorepparttar 150537 rice mixture and mix well. Spreadrepparttar 150538 mixture intorepparttar 150539 prepared dish and bake for about 30 minutes (or untilrepparttar 150540 top is golden brown).

Borsodó (White Wine Sauce)

1 cup/250 mL white wine 80 g icing sugar 3 egg yolks Juice of half a lemon, plus 1 tsp grated lemon rind

Palacsinta (Hungarian crepes) are an indispensable dessert in Hungary, and another Friday dinner classic. These thin pancakes can be served with simple fillings (jam, cocoa, or cinnamon sugar) or more elaborate fillings such as sweet cheese or ground nuts mixed with a bit of rum and sugar. Fresh fruit or apples sautéed in butter and sugar until soft and caramelized are also a nice filling.
