\nThree delectable beauties from Georgian Deli and Bakery, 2270 86th St in Brooklyn; sometimes the only road to comfort is via homespun baked goods.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPakhlava (you might see an infinite number of alternate spellings, but Instagram restricts me to 2200 characters) \u2013 loaded with chopped walnuts and golden and black raisins, punctuated by white beze (meringue). Pakhlava and baklava share the same Turkic root word but aside from the walnuts the resemblance between them ends there: three layers of rich, sour cream based dough in contrast to multifold sheets of gossamer phyllo leaves with sweetness coming from dried fruit instead of a beehive of honey.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCrescent Cigarette Cake \u2013 walnuts and raisins again, cinnamon too, a fairly standard complement for the region. Sufficiently distinct to include here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nQada (you might see kada) \u2013 my absolute favorite of the three. Tight roll, tight crumb; butter, flour, sugar, butter and perhaps an egg yolk (did I mention butter?) \u2013 how can something so simple be so delicious? (Oh yeah. Butter. \ud83d\ude09)
