Valukones

Valukones are a type of traditional Ukrainian pastry, often associated with the Lviv region. They are small, round, and slightly flattened cakes, typically made from a simple dough consisting of flour, water, and sometimes a bit of sugar or salt. The dough is rolled out thinly and cut into circles, which are then baked until golden brown. Valukones are often served as a snack or a dessert, and can be enjoyed plain or with a variety of toppings such as jam, honey, or chocolate spread. They are a popular treat in Ukraine and are often given as gifts or sold at local markets and fairs. The name "valukones" is derived from the Ukrainian word "valuk," which means "small" or "little." Despite their simple appearance, valukones are a beloved part of Ukrainian culinary tradition and are enjoyed by people of all ages.
