What's "roshky"?

Well, I actually just googled it to see what the rest of the world thinks, and the rest of the world thinks they are what my Grandma just called "poppyseed rolls". The things I'm making this weekend (called roshky on the top of the recipe that my mom typed for my grandma....) are these tiny little nut rolls on a very very flaky pastry. The pastry is mostly butter, eggs, flour.....folded over and over, refrigerated, rolled, folded, refrigerated, etc. etc. until I finally cut out 2 inch squares, fill them with walnut filling, and roll them up. Takes me all day. Sprinkle with powdered sugar when done.

oh we just called them nut rolls. my mom passed away 15 years ago and i have not had them since! i make poppyseed bread, but i haven't done a nutroll ever. i am not even sure i had the recipe anywhere. i know it was EXTRMELY labor intensive when my mom made them and she always made five million to make it worth the effort!

Found out other people call them kolacky (I believe this would be pronounced "KO-LATCH-KEY". I wonder why my Grandma called them something else.

Do you have munchkins there who eat everything before you can serve your feast at Christmas or Thanksgiving?
