Aranygaluska (Golden Dumpling)

This is my husband’s favorite sweets from Hungary (and almas pite too haha). He would often asks me to make this. It looks like monkey bread, but it’s served with cream. I like without, but husband said, it’s a muuuussssssttt 😀

For the dumpling:
————————
120 ml milk
23 g fresh yeast
1 tbsp sugar

250 g flour
30 g butter
25 g icing sugar
2 pods green cardamom, crush, throw away the skin, and use the crushed seeds only
1 tsp grated lemon rind
a dash of salt

Walnut Mixture
——————
100 g ground walnut
70 g sugar (some ppl prefer icing sugar, its up to you)
1 heaping tsp cinnamon powder
60 g butter, melted (more if needed up to 100 g)

Vanilla Sauce
——————–
500 ml milk
3 yolks, lightly stirred
1 heaping tsp vanilla essence
70 g sugar (again some ppl prefer icing sugar)
1-2 tsp flour (depending the thickness you prefer)
grated lemon rind/rhum essence


How to make dumpling:

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk, sprinkle with sugar, let rise 5-10 mins
Mix the other ingredients in a bowl, until crumbly texture, pour in yeast and egg, knead, let rise for 30 mins
Mix walnut, sugar and cinnamon
Pinch dough into small portions, dip into melted butter, and roll into walnut mixture, place in springform pan
Let rise until doubled in size
Preheat oven to 350, bake dumpling for 30-35 mins
Serve warm with cold sauce

How to make the sauce
——————————
Simmer milk and sugar until dissolve
Add in essence, stir well
Add in egg, keep stirring
Add in flour and cook til thicken
Cool (some ppl like it cold from the fridge)

PS: I prefer the sauce somewhat thickened as for jelly pudding, but my husband and son prefer it to be somewhat runny as the idea is to soak this kind of dumpling (the Hungarians do soak them). That being said, adjust the milk and the flour to your wish.
