My nana lived in Cleveland for many years, raising my mom and her sisters there. The population in Cleveland at that time was filled with immigrants from eastern europe..... Slovak,Czech and Polish, mostly. One pastry that me and my sister really remember was the the poppyseed roll but she also made Kolackis. Mom decided to make them this winter for the holidays.
I'm sure the recipe is different than what you all are used to and I think folding them not have been the way they were originally made. I only ever saw them in Brno in a circular form. Enjoy! :)
