Asztmára

Asztmára is a term of Hungarian origin, often referring to a type of Hungarian pastry. These pastries are typically sweet and can vary in shape and filling, though they often involve dough that is fried or baked. Common ingredients include flour, sugar, eggs, and various spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Some asztmára may be filled with fruit preserves, nuts, or sweet cheese. The preparation often involves techniques to achieve a light and crispy texture. Asztmára can be found in traditional Hungarian bakeries and are enjoyed as a dessert or a sweet treat. The specific recipes and variations of asztmára can differ regionally within Hungary and among different families. The name itself is a diminutive form of the Hungarian word for "star," potentially alluding to the shape of some of these pastries.
