My grandmother made the best Hungarian butter horns that I've ever tasted! She was famous for her traditional Hungarian pastry.
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. I love to reminesce about sitting in my grandmother's kitchen and watching her cook and bake her butter horns.
Quick, you pastry lovers, love butter horns?

What do you like in your horns?
I particularly loved my grandmother's NUT butter horns!
Grandma's Cooking the Best!
My grandmother's butter horns were so good that they melted in your mouth. She didn't need icing, but simply sprinkled confectioner's sugar on the horns after they cooled.
