Veszpréms

Veszpréms are a type of traditional Hungarian pastry, originating from the city of Veszprém in western Hungary. They are typically made from a dough consisting of flour, water, and yeast, which is then rolled out and cut into small squares. The dough is then filled with a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes raisins or nuts, and folded into a triangular shape. The pastry is then baked until golden brown and served warm, often dusted with powdered sugar.

Veszpréms are a popular treat in Hungary, particularly during the Christmas season, where they are often served as a dessert alongside other traditional pastries and sweets. They are also a common sight in local bakeries and cafes throughout the country. The pastry's name is derived from the city of Veszprém, where it is believed to have originated, although its exact origins are not well-documented.

The preparation of Veszpréms involves several steps, including kneading the dough, allowing it to rise, rolling it out, filling it with the sweet mixture, and then folding it into a triangular shape. The pastry is typically baked in a preheated oven at a moderate temperature to ensure a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior.

Veszpréms are a beloved treat in Hungary, known for their delicious flavor and satisfying texture. They are often enjoyed as a sweet snack or dessert, and their popularity continues to grow both within Hungary and among Hungarian expatriates around the world.
