Rugelach
Rugelach' is a Yiddish word that translates to 'little twists'. One of Israel's favourite pastries, the rugelach can be traced back to the Hungarian kifli, Austrian kipferin and Polish rogal. Some people believe that Austria was the birthplace of rugelach, where it was made to commemorate the expulsion of the Turks. Others say it originated in Poland and brought to the US with the Jews who fled the Nazi’s.
At its best, it’s flakey and tender outside, moist and flavorful inside. They are usually filled with jam, dried fruit and nuts. If you’ve only had rugelach at the grocery store, you have not had a good one.
