In this episode of A spoonful of Hungary, Tamás Dános guides you through the process of making lángos, an iceonic and all-time favourite Hungarian dish. The classic ‘lángos’ recipe evokes memories of summer days by the shores and beaches in Hungary, so the chef suggests an unusual topping idea to catch your attention.

Lángos is an integral part of Hungarian gastronomy, which could not exist without it. Some say that lángos became a part of Hungary during the Turkish regime which lasted for 150 years, but some mention ancient Roman roots to this meal.

Lángos can be prepared at home, but it is mostly sold on the streets and at Hungarian beaches and swimming pools, like Lakes Balaton and Velence, and even at our most famous baths, such as Széchenyi, Palatinus, Gellért, and many others all across the country. 

Lángos is most frequently served with cheese, sour cream, onions, bacon, cottage cheese, but some even go as far as combining it with sweet flavours!

The following recipe showcases both some traditional and novel takes on the traditional lángos ?

Ingredients:

For the dough:

  • approx. 4 dl lukewarm water
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 60 dkg flour (BL80)
  • half a tbsp sugar
  • 3 dkg yeast

Toppings:

  • Sheeps curd
  • Sour cream
  • Garlic with little oil
  • Dill
  • Apricot jam
  • Walnut
  • Cocoa, chocolate cream or hazelnut spread

Preparation of the dough:

Add half a tablespoon of sugar to 4dl of lukewarm water then add the yeast as well. Once the yeast has been activated, we can mix it with the flour, the oil, and the salt. Mix thoroughly and knead. When the dough is fairly smooth and slightly sticky, put it into a previously oiled bowl, let it rise until the dough doubles. When risen, divide it into eight equal parts, round dumplings out of them, and leave them to rest for another 10 minutes before preparing the flatbreads. Shape them, then deep fry them in hot oil.

Enjoy your unusual meal! ??
