Drain the curd cheese in cheesecloth for 5 minutes and mash it with a fork; mix with granulated sugar, egg, vanilla, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt to make the filling.
Cut the puff pastry into 12 cm squares and place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each square.
Bring the four corners of the pastry together in the middle and pinch into a bundle shape; place seam side down on a parchment-lined tray.
Brush the tops with beaten egg white.
Bake in an oven heated to 200°C for 22 minutes, until the tops are golden and the pastry has puffed.
Rest the batyu for 3 minutes after baking, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Drain the curd cheese in cheesecloth for 5 minutes; otherwise the filling becomes watery and softens the puff pastry. Lemon zest is the classic signature of Hungarian turos pastries, and vanilla deepens the aroma when added with it.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Transfer the warm pastries to a plate, dust them with powdered sugar, and complete the Hungarian breakfast table with a bowl of sour cream or honey on the side.
