So, I'm thinking this is the weekend if any I will get 'into the season' and do some traditional baking. For me, the tradition is Hungarian recipes, and my memory is filled with wonderful things that we had around the house this time of year. It's funny, my Grandmother was a *very* proud Hungarian, and I never even thought about the fact that the recipes we did were some shared by other European/Eastern European cultures, until I spoke with a Polish girlfriend about her Christmas traditions -and they were *so* similar!
Silly me, I know.
In my 'it's early Friday and my hopes are not yet dashed' state of mind I'll be making:
Walnut and Poppy seed Beigli -or Makowiec, or... anyway, this is a super simple rendition, and a lovely video:

I'm also pretty sure I'm going to make - Csoroge fank or Chrusciki, or...Angel Wings and here she is again, so fun to watch her:

Not sure if there will be any fuel left in my tank after that, but I'd love to do some cookies/Kifli/Kolaczki
