My grandmother made the best Hungarian Butter Horns that I've ever tasted!
Holidays were always THE time of year that my grandmother baked the most of her famous Hungarian Butter Horns. She could make hundreds of these at a time, with several different fillings -- usually nuts, apricots, and prune. It's this time of year that I love to reminesce about sitting in my grandmother's kitchen and watching her cook and bake. Regrets include that she left us all too long ago and that she kept some of her recipes in her head!
Quick, you pastry lovers ...
My grandmother made the best butter horns!!!

I'm a nut lover but I think the apricot filling would be my favorite. I love fruit fillings.
