HUNGARIAN COOKING : POGÁCSA (WHO WILL GET THE BISCUIT WITH A COIN IN IT?)

FOOD PERESTROIKA : HUNGARIAN BISCUITS  Love this website.  Well written by site owner Florian, interesting, and good recipes.... you'll get hungry just reading this.

Excerpt: In many Hungarian folk tales, the hero takes with him a pogasca baked in embers before setting off on a long journey. On St. Luca's name day (December 13th), a coin is hidden in a batch of pogis, and the person who finds it is said to win good luck for the following year.

Excerpt: One of the first written mentions of the famous pagasca can be found in The Science of Cooking, written by the court of the Prince of Transylvania around 1580 and available in English (link here.)  Not surprisingly for medieval cuisine, many of these pagacsa recipes include rose water, almond, wine, jam, or honey. Several of these use grated honey kalach mixed with soaked pieces of bread roll instead of making dough from scratch with flour....
