Kolaches image

These are not your typical Kolaches! Most people know them as Pigs in the blanket, But this is the Kolache I grew up on and LOVE!! My Great-Grandmother Covault got this recipe from a lady she knew(not sure of the back story on it) she was pure Bohemian! And made these and my Great Grandmother loved them, she she was nice enough...

  • 16. You can freeze these like my Great -Grandmother used to do. Simply place wax paper between the layers. We usually make about 500-700 Kolaches in a 2 Day period( just to get a lot of fillings and options and to get it all over with, its a lot of work BUT ooooh sooooo GOOD!! Trust me! Otherwise I wouldn't do it!! HAHAHA Enjoy!!!

These kolaches were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different filling.
