4 traditional Hungarian snack recipes + VIDEOS

Hungarians love eating in general, but we also take snacking to the next level. Savoury or sweet, we love them all. Here are four traditional Hungarian snacks you can make at home to enjoy between your meals.

For the recipes, I included Kitchen Paprikash’s recipe videos. Kitchen Paprikash is a YouTube channel dedicated to Hungarian cuisine and showing people how to make delicious Hungarian meals (in English).

Sajtos pogácsa (cheese scones)

This is a party classic. I remember that, growing up, my grandmother always used to make cheese scones for every single family gathering. It is cheap, easy to make lots of, and everyone loves it.

Túrófánk (cottage cheese doughnuts)

You have more of a sweet tooth? No problem, Kitchen Paprikash has got you covered with this filling cottage cheese doughnut recipe. As a bonus, these doughnuts can be enjoyed either as a side dish for saucy meat dishes or as a dessert.
