Hungarian Kiffles🇭🇺

🥣 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Dough

  1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt.
  2. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add sour cream (and egg yolk if using) and mix until dough comes together.
  4. Wrap in plastic and chill 30 minutes.

2️⃣ Prepare the Filling

  • If using jam, stir until smooth.
  • If using nuts, mix ground walnuts, sugar, and milk to form a thick paste.

3️⃣ Shape the Kifli

  1. Divide dough into 2–3 portions. Roll each into a circle, about ¼ inch thick.
  2. Cut into triangles (like pizza slices).
  3. Place a small spoonful of filling near the wide end.
  4. Roll up from wide end to point to form a crescent.

4️⃣ Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  2. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Bake 15–20 minutes until lightly golden.

5️⃣ Finish

  • Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar.
  • Serve with tea or coffee.

💡 Tips

  • Chill dough well — it makes rolling and shaping easier.
  • Use your favorite jam or nut filling for variety.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container for 4–5 days.
  • For extra shine, brush with a little milk or egg wash before baking.
