Hungarian Nut Rolls

Cultural Context

Hungarian nut rolls, or Beigli, are a beloved pastry traditionally made during the Christmas season and other festive occasions. They symbolize family gatherings and the joy of sharing homemade treats. With their flaky dough and rich nut filling, these rolls have become a staple not only in Hungary but also in various Eastern European countries, where each family may have its own variation. Today, they are enjoyed year-round, often filled with poppy seeds or chocolate as well.

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Start by making the dough with slightly softened butter and cream cheese.

2

Add all-purpose flour and kosher salt to the mixture.

3

Use a hand blender to mix the ingredients on low until combined.

4

Finish mixing by hand to gather the dough together.

5

Divide the dough into fourths and wrap each section to prevent shrinking.

6

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or overnight if desired.

7

While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling by processing walnuts in a food processor until fine.

8

Bring milk to a boil and pour it into a bowl with the ground walnuts.

9

Mix in melted butter and sugar, adding about half of the hot milk to create a paste-like consistency.

10

Chill the walnut filling in the refrigerator until solidified.

11

Flour the work surface and roll out one piece of dough into a thin rectangle, about 1/16 of an inch thick.

12

Sprinkle sugar on the dough as you roll it out to add sweetness.

13

Cut the rolled dough into 1.5-inch squares using a fluted cutter or knife.

14

Place about a teaspoon of walnut filling in the center of each square, being careful not to overfill.

15

Roll the dough from one corner to the opposite corner, sealing the edges well.
