Stözs

Stözs is a traditional Hungarian pastry, often referred to as a "Hungarian donut." It is a sweet, fried doughnut that is typically coated in a thin layer of powdered sugar. The name "Stözs" is derived from the Hungarian word "stős," which means "to fry." Stözs are a popular treat in Hungary and are often enjoyed as a breakfast or snack item.

The dough for Stözs is made from flour, water, sugar, yeast, and sometimes eggs or milk. The dough is kneaded and allowed to rise, then shaped into small balls and fried in hot oil until golden brown. After frying, the Stözs are coated in powdered sugar, which gives them their characteristic sweet and crunchy exterior.

Stözs can be found in various sizes and shapes, ranging from small, bite-sized pieces to larger, ring-shaped donuts. They are often served plain or with a dusting of cinnamon. In some regions, Stözs may be filled with cream or jam, adding an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Stözs are a beloved part of Hungarian cuisine and are enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a staple at Hungarian bakeries and cafes, where they are often served with a cup of coffee or tea. Stözs are also a popular choice for special occasions and celebrations, adding a touch of Hungarian culture to any gathering.
