Korszervé

Korszervé is a term of Hungarian origin that can refer to a type of pastry or a dish. As a pastry, it is often a sweet confection, sometimes filled with fruit preserves or nuts, and can be found in various forms, including small, individually portioned items or larger cakes. The preparation typically involves a dough that is baked until golden brown.

In some contexts, korszervé might also describe a savory dish, although this is less common. The precise ingredients and preparation methods can vary significantly by region and family tradition within Hungary. It is a traditional food enjoyed during holidays and special occasions, as well as an everyday treat. The name itself is believed to derive from "korsó" meaning jug or jar, possibly alluding to the shape or storage of the pastry. While specific recipes are widely shared within Hungarian culinary heritage, detailed historical documentation on its exact origins is scarce. It remains a beloved part of Hungarian gastronomy.
