I&rsquo;d actually come across them before, though under the popular nickname &lsquo;Vicksvaporub&rsquo; at Confitería Rufino in Aracena. Apparently they&rsquo;re typical of Granada, and legend has it they got their name because they were made in honor of Pope Pius IX. Of course, like with every recipe, the origin and authorship are still up for debate, but whoever made them first, these little pastries are wonderful.</p>
