Posypováno

Posypováno is a Czech word that translates to "sprinkled" or "dusted" in English. It is commonly used to describe the action of applying a dry ingredient, such as sugar, salt, spices, or flour, over a surface. The term can refer to food preparation, baking, or even decorative applications.

In the context of baking, posypováno is often used when referring to cookies, cakes, or pastries that have a topping of sugar, cinnamon, or nuts. For example, a recipe might instruct to "posypte moučník moučkovým cukrem" which means "sprinkle the pastry with powdered sugar." Similarly, savory dishes might be described as "posypáno bylinkami" meaning "sprinkled with herbs."

Beyond culinary uses, the word can also be applied to non-food items. For instance, a path might be described as "posypáno štěrkem," meaning "covered with gravel." The general meaning remains consistent: a light scattering of small particles over a surface. The specific ingredient or material being sprinkled determines the exact nuance of the translation.
