Hungarian Cheese Biscuits (Pogácsa) 🇭🇺

Oh, a true Hungarian favorite for gatherings! 🇭🇺
Pogácsa are small, soft, and golden biscuits — buttery, cheesy, and slightly flaky. They’re often served as snacks, at family celebrations, or with a glass of wine or pálinka. There are many variations (potato, cottage cheese, pork cracklings), but the cheese version is one of the most popular.
