Flódni

Flódni (also known as Fächertorte in Austria) is a traditional Hungarian Jewish pastry, filled with layers of apple, walnuts, poppy seeds, and plum jam. It is traditionally eaten at Purim and Hanukkah.

History
Though associated with Hungary, it originated in Ashkenaz (western Germany) before Ashkenazi Jews migrated eastward. After the Holocaust, it has become harder to find in Hungary, but Hungarian Jewish chef Rachel Raj has brought it back into the public consciousness. In 2012, Raj made 1600 pieces of flódni, which if stacked would reach 96 meters tall, the height of the Hungarian parliament building.
