Hungarian Cheese Cakes with Caramelized Pears Recipe
What we call Hungarian cheesecakes is called turos taska in Hungary, which translates as "knot" or "purse" with cottage cheese. A very accurate name, because these buns with the corners of the dough raised and connected at the top, behind which the filling is hidden inside, really resemble a bundle with belongings. Very tasty and juicy! Come visit, I'll treat you)
