Soft, buttery pastry wrapped around a rich walnut filling, Hungarian Walnut Beigli (Diós Bejgli) is one of Hungary’s most beloved traditional pastries. With its beautiful spiral pattern and fragrant combination of walnuts, lemon, cinnamon, and vanilla, every slice is a wonderful balance of tender pastry and sweet nutty filling. The Sunday Baker
Although Beigli is especially associated with Christmas and other festive occasions, it is delicious enough to enjoy any time of year.
