Hungarian Sweet Vanilla-Butter Rolls – Ferdinánd Tekercs
Hungarian Sweet Vanilla-Butter Rolls (Ferdinánd Tekercs) is a classic Hungarian dessert that comes from the countryside, a town called Karcag.
Soft and crispy, lots of vanilla and butter. You can have it with a cup of milk or coffee, also goes will with a thin vanilla custard.
They are made in a rondeau cake form and stick together during baking.
Brushing the top with hot sweetened cream while baking is an important step. The cream makes the pastry particularly soft and spongy, the buns are crispy outside and soft inside with a mild sweet taste and vanilla flavor.
