Good afternoon. I am just curious my friend. I hope you do not mind me asking you this question. How many times have you baked this recipe & were all those times successful...no mishaps???
Enjoy the rest of the day my friend.

I'm so sorry, but I never noticed your question on my recipe for kiflies until today....my sister and I have both made this recipe many times...as did my mother...I've never had any problem with it, and I think my sister would have mentioned it, if she had....it's a really strange recipe, but it does work!Submitted by magyar baker on Sat, 2013-07-20 09:58.
Hello. I just saw your recipe for Kifli and found it a bit unusual! I have never heard of using hard boiled eggs in the recipe! Is this a regional variation recipe?
The Kifli I learned to make from my great aunt(Szombathely, Vas megye) has sour cream mixed in with the flour and other dry ingredients, the dough is rolled out , diamond shapes cut out, a slit in the middle and one corner pulled through and twisted; then, the dough is deep fried and powdered sugar coated after cooling....
I also wanted to ask, do you have a recipe for the breakfast bread that is half sweet-not quite white bread and half cocoa and was braided? I remember that bread is also called Kalacs (Kolach?) and I can't find a good recipe anywhere...I'd appreciate any feedback or links to that recipe.
Many thanks! E. FarkasSubmitted by mumpy on Mon, 2013-07-22 09:08.
not too sure how this recipe became so different - I've never seen it anywhere else.....this is something my mother used to make, and she got the recipe from a neighbor who was Hungarian, who learned it from her grandmother....and i wish i could help with the braided bread, but i'm sorry - i can't....have you looked at lots of ethnic baking websites?...you could also try asking on the community forum here....there's an amazing fund of diverse knowledge there.....good luck finding it!
