Enjoying some #rugelach

@raf Is rugelah the same as Babka? Duolingo Yiddish is forever rattling on about Babka. I've only ever had rugelah. I've never knowingly seen this thing called babka, but the description seems to be sort of the same.

Also rugelach are tiny, like 2 inches, while babka is traditionally baked in a loaf pan or in a flower configuration.

@serge @raf There you are. What I'd buy as Rugellah from the local kosher bakers are the big things*, even though the smaller versions are sometimes available too.
* Which is why we don't anymore. #calories

I should also mention that there are generally two styles of rugelach- the flaky, and the soft.

I prefer the flaky, and my wife prefers the soft.
