    Hi Mel192! Thanks for your feedback and glad to hear you loved the pastry! You're right there is a whole lot of sugar in the filling but that's how the Hungarians like it - ultra sweet! hehe You can definitely cut back the sugar and/or honey and it will still taste amazing. This recipe has been adapated from a traditional one so didn't want to alter the sugar amount.  tmrc_emoticons.)

    Pastry is great.  Way too much sugar in the filling.  Next time will just try with the honey and leave the sugar out.
