M meryl Well-known member Dec 2, 2011 #6 I think I'm going to try them also. If you make them, let me know how they turn out!
M melissa-dallas Well-known member Dec 3, 2011 #7 Curious as to why they are called Kolaches, as Kolaches are yeast rolls with fruit filling. My favorite bakery where I grew up makes something very similar with apricot or other filling that are simply folded into an envelope shape.

A angak1 Well-known member Dec 5, 2011 #14 Oklahoma has a bunch of Czechs as well. Yukon and Prague have big festivals. this round jam topped pastry is what you will find, but there are other variations as well. probably as many kolache variations as there are pyrogi/vareninki variations. http://www.praguekolachefestival.com/kolache_recipe.htm
