🇭🇺 Hungary recipe
Rétes
Rétes is the Hungarian strudel, and it predates its more famous Austrian cousin. The hallmark of Hungarian rétes is the painstakingly hand-pulled dough, stretched over a floured tablecloth until it is tissue-thin and nearly transparent. This impossibly delicate pastry is then filled with spiced apples, sour cherries, poppy seeds, or túró and rolled into a long log that bakes into shatteringly crisp, golden layers.
