HUNGARIAN SLICE

Hungarian Slice is a delectable pastry known for its rich layers and sweet flavors. Originating from Hungary, this dessert typically consists of thin layers of dough separated by sweet fillings, such as apricot jam, nuts, or poppy seeds. The layers are baked to golden perfection, creating a crispy yet tender texture.
