Help! Need pogacsa (sp?) recipe

[MazdaUK]

Help! What it says at the top! This is a Hungarian recipe for little scone-type things served with drinks. Its Hungarian recipe, and as MIL is coming for Easter lunch I thought it would be nice to make some. Her sister passed last year, and made lovely pogacsa, and this weekend is the first anniversary Sadly, MIL does not have a hand for pastry (great if you need to retile a roof, IYKWIM, but not so good for eating ) so its no good asking her for recipe.

Can anyone help? TIA!

Thanks! The second one looks the easiest so I'll try that

(I know you can make them with yeast but I've only got easyblend and I'm not sure how it translates to the fresh. And I don't have anything to do with cottage cheese - uuurrrghhhhhhhh)

I'll report back how they come out!

You would use half the amount called for when using easy blend.

For example : 1 tablespoon fresh yeast = 1/2 tablespoon easy blend.
Glad I could help and I'm anxious to hear how you make out.

Thanks! I always get confused as I have the easyblend and I know the other dried yeast you do stuff with

I decided to do the yeast one (the 1st option) but I had no idea what 2/3 cake of pressed yeast would be so I put in 10g of easyblend. I also made it like pastry - rubbing in first etc. - rahter than just throwing it all in. It was stiff to roll, but they came out great - DH says they're better than his mum or great aunt ever made

MIL said they're very like the traditional ones from home, but she normally puts more salt in because they're served with drinks. I think they're salty enough (I used salted butter) so I suppose its down to taste. She was very impressed by the power of the internet ;-)
