Christmas opekance
[edit]In Slovakia, they are usually served as a fasting food during Day before Christmas or as a special dish for Christmas Eve dinner.[1] It is a floury food in the form of baked and scalded pieces.[2] Traditionally, they are poured with hot milk and sprinkled with ground nuts, poppy seeds, quark or other sprinkles mixed with sugar. Sliced rolls can also be used as a substitute for leavened opekance.[1][3]
