Chimney Cake was originally baked over hot coals by Hungarians residing in Transylvania, Romania - the home of the mythical Dracula!
Originally the pastry or cake was only baked on special occasions, such as weddings or festivals. However the popularity of the product has grown & once a festive treat, is now is now part of everyday consumption.
To make the product, dough is rolled by hand into an even strip & is wrapped, like a ribbon, around a wooden or steel cooking roll. It is then coated in sugar & baked in a purpose made oven or on a gas or charcoal grill. A topping of choice is then sprinkled on the baked Kürt?skalács while they're hot & sticky. The caramelised sugar on the surface creates a sweet, crispy crust while inside the dough is fluffy & soft.
Ingredients: 500 g flour, 1 egg, 2 egg yolk, 8 spoon icing sugar, 10 g yeast, 25 g milk, 100 butter, salt
Preparation: Mix flour with eggs, egg yolk, 6 spoon icing sugar, 80 g melted butter, dissolved yeast and pinch of salt. Knead well. When half-risen, cut into strips (as above). Roll the strips onto the wooden roller. Grill the risen dough strips on charcoal. When the surface starts to brown, brush with melted butter, repeat several times. When finished, dust with caster sugar.
