This delicious nut roll pastry was almost always present in my grandmother’s home when we visited on Sunday afternoons. My grandparents, Mary and John Stofan, came from what was Austria-Hungary through Ellis Island at the ages of 16 and 17, fleeing from what was the beginnings of a forced youth army. The area they were from became Slovakia shortly after their departure.
