Folded Cake
Pour the boiling water into buckwheat flour and stir well. When cold add wheat flour, the risen yeast and warm milk, if necessary. Knead softer dough and let it rise. Put the dough in the greased baking pan using ladle or spoon. Thickly sprinkle with walnuts, drip with warm honey and cover with another layer of the dough. Repeat at least three times. The dough must be on top. Let the cake rise and bake it. Bake in the oven approx 60 minutes at 190º C.

Viennese Schnitzel
The true origin of the Wiener Schnitzel has again become a matter of vigorous debate between culinary historians in recent times. One thing, however, is absolutely certain: the Wiener Schnitzel is truly cosmopolitan. The earliest trails lead to Spain, where the Moors were coating meat with breadcrumbs during the Middle Ages. The Jewish community in Constantinople is similarly reported to have known a dish similar to the Wiener Schnitzel in the 12th century. So whether the legend surrounding the import of the “Costoletta Milanese” from Italy to Austria by Field Marshal Radetzky is true or not, a nice story makes very little difference. The main thing is that the schnitzel is tender and crispy!
Tarragon Potica
Alongside štruklji, Pehtranova Potica is the most typical Slovenian dessert. It is made with more than 80 different fillings. Potica is a characteristic festive dessert made from different kinds of dough. The most characteristic types of potica include tarragon, honey, walnut, poppy seed, crackling, chive, lovage and cottage cheese.
