In 🇭🇺 Hungary, no 🎄Christmas is complete without "bejgli", a traditional and festive 🥧pastry. Read below the recipe from our Embassy's Chef Balazs Szabo.
For the dough: 500 g flour, 50 g pork fat, 150 g butter, 5 g salt, 12 g fresh yeast, 3 egg yolks, 100 g milk, 70 g powdered sugar
Poppy seed filling: 600 g poppy seeds, 250 g sugar, 150 g honey, grated peel and juice of 2 lemons, 150 g water, peel and juice of 1 orange, 20 g vanilla sugar, 3 g ground cinnamon
Walnuts filling: 500g ground walnuts, 100g ground home-made biscuits /or bread crumbs/, 150g honey, grated rind and juice of 1 lemon, grated rind and juice of 2 oranges, 150g water, 1 stick of vanilla with the seeds removed and the peel, 6g ground cinnamon
Preparation: Measure all the dough ingredients into a bowl or food processor bowl, except for the salt, and mix on low speed or by hand. When it comes together but is not yet homogeneous, add the salt, then mix until ready and smooth. It is important that both the butter and the fat are cold. When ready, divide the resulting amount into 4 equal parts, roll them into balls and leave them to rest in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap. It can be stretched after 1 hour.
Preparation of the filling: With the exception of walnuts and/or poppy seeds, measure the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Stir, cool / leave at room temperature / then divide into 4 equal parts and use.
In the shape of a rectangle, spread the finished cooled filling evenly with a spatula, fold in the right and left sides by 2 cm and roll it forward from you. First, brush it with egg yolk, let it dry, brush it with egg white, then bake it in a preheated oven at 170 Celsius degrees (338 F) for 35-40 minutes. It is worth pricking with a fork before baking so that the gases escape freely from the filling.
Enjoy!

Piano concert after the speech. 🎹 🎼 🎵 On 21 May 2021 in Hamburg Hungary took over the presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe from Germany. During the six months of the presidency, we have prepared an extensive professional and rich cultural program both in Hungary and in Strasbourg, which we are pleased to inform you about. The Council of Europe was established after the Second World War to promote human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Today, with 47 member states and a population of over 820 million, it is a true pan-European organization, active throughout the continent. During the six months of the presidency, Hungary will focus on five priority areas: effective protection of national minorities, interreligious dialogue, "next generation" topics like children and youth rights, as well as technological and environmental challenges. We would like to share with you the thoughts of H. E. Mr. Szijjártó Péter, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary and the President of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe delivered in Hamburg upon taking up this honorable task. Afterwards a short concert film by the Kossuth Prize-winning pianist János Balázs will be screened highlighting our country’s many wonders and cultural richness. #hucoepres #huncoepres #hungarianpresidency #hungaryandcoe #fivepriorities #HunCoE
