Crackling Scones/Tepertős Pogácsa

I found this description at the Hairy Bikers recipe site, regarding the Crackling Scones (as they travelled to Hungary during this season): " These savoury scones are often mentioned in Hungarian fables and folk tales as they as the sustaining food that the young man off to conquer the world takes in his backpack. They're traditionally served with beef gulash soup too."  

The first part it totally correct. We have this lovely type of food across the year( by the way you will receive a small scone in your pack on your school leaving ceremony:) 

But the second part is totally wrong. We would NEVER have these with goulash (gulyás) soup...what is the point? Both pogácsa and goulash soup is filling as they are.

Crackling Scones/ Tepertős Pogácsa

Ingredients

500g flour

250g crackling chopped up (you can have fresh one from your local butcher) can be pork, duck, or goose

30g butter at room tempeature

50g yeast

2 dl milk

1 tbsp sugar

2 egg yolks

2 tbsp soured cream

1 tbsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper

1egg

Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk with a pinch of sugar, cover it and leave it to rise.

In a big bowl mix the flour, salt, milk, crackling, butter, soured cream, rest of the sugar and egg yolks. Work it thoroughly and from a dough. Cover with cling film and leave it to rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 190C.

On a floured surface roll it out to 2cm thick and make some cuts on the surface on the dough. With a cookie cutter cut 3cm rounds out and lay it on a baking tray covered with baking paper.

Cover the top of the scones with egg wash. Bake it for 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

In the end I made this batch of Crackling Scones and a batch of Cheesy scones...this is how we went to pick up my mum and my sister from the airport (in case they are hungry:) Typical Hungarian attitude to guests:) By the way at the time when I made the picture the other batch of crackling scones was still in the oven.
