Kurtoskalacs (chimney cake) maker

Step 4 Finish

place the dowel ontop of the base. Thats it! it is a very simple thing! This dish is a big hit for parties because its fun and different. I recommend making yours shorter than mine. Because of the unique firepit I have I had to make mine very tall. Yours should be about half the height as mine. good luck! The recipe is here


6 egg yolks
100-120 g/ 4-4 ½ oz. butter
½ tsp. salt
2 tbsp.sugar
50 g/2 oz. yeast
500 ml/18 fl. oz. lukewarm milk
1,000g/2 lb. flour
sugar
chopped almonds

Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm mild. Beat the egg yolks and butter
together, then add the salt and sugar. Sieve the flour and add the egg
mixture and the yeast. Blend together thoroughly. Cover with a cloth
and put in a warm place to rise. Turn out onto a floured surface, roll
out and cut into long strips – 5 cm/2 in. wide. An alternative way is
to divide the dough into small balls, leave to rise and then roll each
ball into long strips, 5 cm/2 in. wide. Brush the rolling pin with
melted butter and twist the strips, one at a time, on to the pin.
Press together with the fingers so that the edges nearly meet. Brush
with melted butter and sprinkle with roughly chopped almonds and
sugar. Bake over an open fire, turning constantly until golden brown,
or in an infrared oven. They can also be baked in an ordinary oven,
but in this case bake without the almond and sugar coating. Remove
from the oven when half-cooked and brush with more melted butter and
then sprinkle with the almonds and sugar.
