Arany galushka (or Aranygaluska, pronounced [ˈɒrɒɲɡɒluʃkɒ]) is a traditional Hungarian dessert consisting of balls of yeast dough (galuska). The balls are rolled in melted butter, and then rolled in a mixture of sugar and crushed nuts (traditionally, walnuts), assembled into layers, before being baked till golden. Arany means gold or golden; galuska refers to the dumpling nature of the balls of dough. Arany galuska may be served with vanilla custard.
