Lekes

Lekes are a type of traditional Hungarian pastry, typically made from a dough consisting of flour, water, and salt, which is then rolled out and cut into strips. These strips are then twisted into a spiral shape, giving the lekes its distinctive appearance. The lekes are then boiled in water until they become soft and spongy. After boiling, they are often dusted with powdered sugar or cinnamon for added flavor and presentation. Lekes are often served as a dessert, but they can also be enjoyed as a snack or a light meal. The pastry is a popular treat in Hungary and is often associated with Hungarian cuisine.
