Ingredients

1/4 cup melted shortening

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 cup lukewarm milk

1 pkg. yeast

2 eggs

3 cups flour (approximately)

assorted jellies or thickened sweet fruits

powdered sugar for frosting

Directions

Melt the shortening.

Heat the milk to scalding then let cool to lukewarm

add the melted shortening, sugar and salt to the milk.

Beat the eggs well

Disolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of luke warm milk or water.

Add the eggs and disolved yeast to the liquid mixture.

Stir the flour into the mixture slowly to make a soft dough.

Turn out onto a floured board and knead till smooth.

Place in a greased bowl.

Cover bowl with a damp towel and let rise till doubled in size in a warm place.

Shape into small balls and flatten on a greased sheet.

Let these rise until light.

Punch the dough down in the center and fill each depression with jelly, or any thickened sweetened fruit (such as prunes, cherries, apricots, etc)

Bake in 375° oven ( I am guessing here as the directions say hot oven and 375 is the temp I use) until lightly browned approx 15 minutes

Remove from oven and make a powdered sugar frosting of powdered sugar and a little milk and drizzle over the kolaches.

the number this makes depends on how large you make the kolaches.

My husband is Czech and although I have never attempted to make these myself. Real Kolaches are great. I have also had them with cream cheese which are really good too.
