Czech Pastry Cottage Cheese Kolacky image

A kolacky is a small dinner roll-like pastry which is folded, enclosing filling in the center. The most common fillings include Cottage Cheese, 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.

Worst kolacky I've ever had. Don't waste your time.

These kolacky were a waste of time and money. They were dry, bland, and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly and my kolacky turned out terrible. The filling was bland and the pastry was soggy.

These kolacky were not what I expected. The filling was too runny and the pastry was too tough.

The kolacky were a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I think I would add more butter to the pastry next time.

These kolacky were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The filling was smooth and creamy, and the pastry was flaky and golden brown.
