Traditional Hungarian Roll Christmas Cake with Poppy Seed

Pataki Poppy Seed Roll

Beigli is a true Hungaricum. There is almost no family where it wouldn't be served at Christmas and Easter. Beigli likely evolved from the Pozsony crescent roll in the second half of the 19th century. The filling has special significance during the Christmas season: poppy seeds symbolize abundance, fertility, and walnuts symbolize wealth and well-being.

Producer Information

The Pataki Confectionery, with a history spanning half a century, opened its doors on April 23, 1973. At that time, the size of the shop and production facilities was smaller than the current sales area.

"In my childhood, baking the first beigli marked the beginning of the Christmas holiday. It is a special joy for me that our family's 50-year confectionery legacy can show thousands of families who have been coming to us and taking delicacies from us for their loved ones for the intimate moments of the holidays for years, even decades. We prepare our beiglis with 51% filling and a minimum of 40% walnuts or poppy seeds (in the filling), spices, candied orange, and vanilla using traditional technology."
