Back home I see my grandparents almost every day, but since we live so far away from them now we can only talk on the phone, skype or if they visit us. When I don't see them for a long time I miss them, I miss talking to them, eating all the delicious food my grandmother makes for us, talking to them, watching movies together...
I was so excited when they told me that they are coming to see us. I was counting the days with my sister. They have been here for nearly two weeks now and we have done so many things and one of them was that I made Hungarian "smarni" with my grandmother. Originally, this is an Austrian dish regularly made by Hungarians too, just a little differently. We like to eat this with apricot jam (which is also home-made by my grandmother) and it is heavenly !!
INGREDIENTS:
10 dkg semolina (búzadara)
2,5 dl milk
3 eggs
pinch of salt
orange zest
lemon zest
4 tbs of oil
pinch of salt
orange zest
lemon zest
4 tbs of oil
optional:
caster sugar
raisins (mazsola) (the amount you prefer)
apricot jam
apricot jam
Start by separating the egg whites from the egg yolks. Mix the semolina, the milk and the egg yolks in the bowl, and let it sit for minimum an hour. Pour some milk on the raisins in a cup (until it covers them) so they can soften. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and add to the batter. Heat up 4 tablespoons of oil in a big pan, and pour in the batter (but make sure to turn it down to medium heat when you start frying the batter). Let one side fry like a thick pancake and then start folding it in half, and cutting it to little pieces with a wooden spatula. Repeat until the batter falls into little crumbles and get golden brown. When ready, grate some lemon and orange zest on it and also add your softened raisins. When it is done put it on a plate and optionally add a little bit of caster sugar on top (this is how I prefer this to be served) and also the apricot jam.
My grandparents are leaving soon and I am sad, because they have to go back to Hungary, so I won't see them for a while, but I am also happy, because it was so nice to see them and spend some time together.
If you decide to try out this Hungarian Smarni then take a picture of it and upload it to instagram or twitter and also don't forget to tag me in the photo.
