Polish "mazurek wielkanocny"


Mazurek, known as "mazurka" in English, is a flat Polish yeast-dough or pastry-dough cake variously topped with almond paste, preserves and/or nuts, dried fruits, meringues, and sometimes left plain. The one thing they have in common is they are rarely over 1 inch in height. They are typically served for Easter. This "royal" version is probably so named because the coloured preserves peeking out of the lattice resemble the jewels in a royal crown.
