ReceptnaptárMiller's rolls
Miller's cake (molnár-kalács) is an old Hungarian iron-baked sweet: a crumbly, buttery, thin cake toasted in a wafer iron or waffle maker. The butter and sour cream make it soft. It is quick to make and a hit with kids.

Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Mix the flour with the salt and powdered sugar. Rub in the cold butter until crumbly.
- Add the egg yolk and just enough sour cream for the dough to come together. It should be soft but not sticky.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
- Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls. Preheat the iron (wafer iron, waffle maker or a small non-stick pan) and grease it thinly with butter.
- Press the balls into the iron and cook each side for 1-2 minutes until nicely red-brown. (In a pan, flatten and cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes per side.)
- Toss in vanilla sugar. In a tightly closed box they stay soft for a few days.

Tips
- Shape the dough while cold so it does not stick.
- Heat the iron well so it gets a nice color.
- You can also sprinkle with poppy seed or cinnamon sugar.
- Without a special iron, toast in a pan.
