Czech Pastry Call Kolacky image

A kolacky is a small dinner roll-like pastry which is folded, enclosing filling in the center. The most common fillings include prune, poppyseed, apricot, apple, blueberry and raspberry. both open-faced and closed-face kolackys were made in Czechoslovakia. the closed kolacky came into being because the fruit in the open-faced buns would get all over the working man's lunch bucket. The men had their wives fold over the pastry so it wouldn't mess up the other things in the lunch bucket. This is a old recipe from my grandmother who came from Prague Czechoslovakian at the turn of the 20th century.

These kolacky are a great way to use up leftover fruit. I used a mixture of apples, blueberries, and raspberries.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my kolacky turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I had a lot of trouble getting the dough to roll out thinly. I think I needed to chill it for longer.

These kolacky were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.
