Tepertős pogácsa is a traditional Hungarian savory scone made with pork cracklings, offering a unique and rich flavor that is beloved in Hungary.

This dish has its roots in Hungarian culinary traditions, where pork cracklings are a common ingredient, often used to add depth and texture to various recipes.

To make tepertős pogácsa, you start by preparing a dough with flour, yeast, milk, and butter. Once the dough has risen, it is rolled out and mixed with finely chopped pork cracklings. The dough is then cut into small scones and baked until golden brown.

While the classic recipe is delicious on its own, some variations include adding a sprinkle of black pepper or a touch of garlic to the dough for extra flavor. You can also experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme.

In Hungary, tepertős pogácsa is typically served as a snack or appetizer, often enjoyed with a glass of wine or a cold beer. They are especially popular during festive occasions and family gatherings.

From a nutritional perspective, tepertős pogácsa is a rich and indulgent treat. The pork cracklings add a significant amount of fat, so it's best to enjoy these scones in moderation. However, they are also a good source of protein and can be quite satisfying.
