Kékké

Kékké is a term of Hungarian origin that refers to a type of small, often round or irregularly shaped piece of pastry. These pastries are typically made from a dough that is fried or baked, and they can be sweet or savory. Sweet kékké are often flavored with sugar, cinnamon, or fruit and may be dusted with powdered sugar. Savory versions can incorporate ingredients like cheese, herbs, or minced meat.

The exact preparation and appearance of kékké can vary significantly depending on regional traditions and family recipes. Some kékké are yeasted, while others are made with a simpler flour and liquid batter. They are often served as a snack, dessert, or as part of a meal. The term itself is a diminutive form, suggesting a small or cute item, which aligns with the common characteristics of these pastries. While not as globally recognized as some other baked goods, kékké holds a place in Hungarian culinary heritage.
