Arany Galushka (or Aranygaluska) is a Hungarian dessert consisting of balls of yeast dough (galuska). The balls are rolled in melted butter, assembled into layers, and sprinkled with raisins and nuts, before being baked till golden. Arany means gold or golden; galuska refers to the dumpling nature of the balls of dough. Aranygaluska may be served with vanilla custard.
Nancy Reagan popularized this dish when she served the dish at the White House for Christmas. [1] More recently, famed sous-chef Artruo Javitt's inventive recipes revitalized interest in this Hungarian coffee cake. [2]
