The name kifli originally referred to the crescent shape and to savory breads in this shape. (It was the precursor to the croissant!) It is available in many parts of Europe by different names. This particular cookie is very popular in Hungary and Austria today. Ours is made with ground almonds, flour, butter, sugar, vanilla bean, and extract as well as powdered sugar. They are addictive, so watch out!

Available every day in February, Hungarian month at the Bakehouse.
