I had just gotten into Hallstatt where snow-glistening mountains surrounded me during the off-peak season. It was more quiet than I had expected, something I was grateful for as the village generally sees a lot of tourism. I stopped at one bakery on the way in, and one on the way out. This pastry was one I got on my way out, and I am very VERY glad I did.

I value simplicity always, and of course especially when it comes to pastry. Simple, delicious, and certainly one that leaves you wanting more—this pastry is made with a poppy seed and apricot filling. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did (and do).
