Hungarian Tart🇭🇺.

Certainly! 🇭🇺 The Hungarian Tart (Rácsos Linzer Torta or Hungarian Lattice Jam Tart) is a classic and nostalgic dessert often made by Hungarian grandmothers. It features a buttery, crumbly dough (similar to shortcrust pastry) and is filled with thick fruit jam — traditionally apricot or plum — and topped with a beautiful lattice pattern.
