Welcome and let's make something simple and tasty!

It's our first week in the world of Hungarian sweets, so I decided to make something really simple which is cheap, fast and tasty. It is called őzgerinc. In English the translation is "venison spine" but don't be scared, no animals were harmed!

So, here are the ingredients:
200 grams (7 oz) of margarine (margarin)
200 grams (7 oz) of sugar (kristálycukor)
2 eggs (tojás)
50 grams (2 oz) of cocoa powder ( bittersweet) (keserű kakópor)
1 vanilla sugar ( vaníliás cukor)
200 grams (7 oz) of grained walnuts (darált dió)
300 grams (11 oz) of biscuits  (keksz)

You will get two bars in the end. But first things first!

You start with breaking the biscuits into small pieces as it is seen in the picture below.

You put the ingredients except for the biscuits and the grained walnuts into a big bowl.

Keep it at a slow simmer until it boils. It has to be dense in the end.

Leaving it on the fire, add the walnuts and mix it together. Cook it for another two minutes.

Take it off from the fire and add the biscuits. Mix it carefully, without breaking the biscuits.










Put the dollop in the center of the cellophane, in a lengthy shape. Here is a picture of how it should look like.

Form a bar. Here comes the tricky part. Fold one side of the cellophane to the other side, gently pushing our Bambi. Do it again from the cross side. Then curl the ends tightly. Here are some pictures for you to see the process.

And here is the final form of our bar.

You have reached the easiest part of the proccess, waiting for the delicious sweet to gain its shape.  For this, you leave the bars at a cool place. When they are hardened, you cut them like you cut bread.


I can't show a picture of the exact result because it gets eaten so fast, I couldn't have the chance to make a photo of it. But Google is always a friend.
