Hungarian Cooking Class: Pörkölt with dumplings & Fánk with homemade marmalade

We were blessed by a lovely Hungarian friend today! She taught us how to make  Pörkölt with dumplings & Fánk with homemade marmalade.

If I was going to give it an American name I would call it Paprika Pork, Hungarian Noodles, & Doughnuts with Jam. 

It was AWESOME! 


Chopping the Pork


Chopping Onion's


Sauteing the Onions


Chopped Green Paprika Peppers


Pork


In with the Onions


Look at that beautiful paprika! 


Mild Paprika Sauce, Paprika Powder, & Lard
Anita says you can use oil, but it doesn't taste the same! :) 


I was told this is the Good Paprika! 


Adding the peppers


Adding 1/2 a tomato 

Time to make the Fank (Doughnut's) 


Fresh Yeast~ Truthfully I have never seen yeast like this 


Crumble Yeast into warm milk


Anita our fabulous teacher! Zesting Lemon into flour




Add partially melted butter to flour. 


Egg yokes only! 


Egg's here are so yellow~ I've been told that is because they are so fresh! 


Do you see how much the fresh yeast puffed up! 


That's amazing! 


Adding some baking rum



Anita says she doesn't enjoy this part very much! We told her she needs a Kitchen Aid! LOL

She then put the dough in the oven to rise.

On to the Noodles


Fairly simple, Salt, flour, eggs, warm water


Stir



Pan  to boil noodles in


You slide the dough over something that looks almost like a cheese grater and the dough drips into boiling water






This is what it looks like when its cooking


Then you ladle the noodles out into a dry pan, add a little oil so they don't dry out.


Finished Pörkölt. 

The Fánk Dough is ready! 




Fold once with a little flour~ too much flour and it will burn when you fry them up



Very cool looking rolling pin~ we were oohing and Awwing over it! 




Cutting out the Doughnuts


Brenda giving it a try


My turn


Karlijn's Turn 


Cathy's Turn


How amazing do those look! 




poke a hole in it then place upside down in fry pan filled with oil.



Flip




Sprinkle with powdered sugar


Be adorable & eat! 


All the kids LOVED them!!! 




Going back for 2nd's!
