Kolaches

Ingredients and Instructions

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 teas. salt

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 pkgs. dry yeast

1/2 cup warm water

2 eggs, beaten

4 cup flour (maybe more)

Filling

Streusel Topping

1/3 Additional butter or margarine, melted

Heat sour cream until warm. Stir in sugar, salt and softened

butter. Set aside to cool. Sprinkle yeast over warm water; let

stand until yeast dissolves. Add to sour cream mixture. add eggs

and flour and mix well (dough does not need kneading). If necessary,

work in enough flour to make dough spongy but not sticky. Put dough

in a large, greased bowl; cover, and refrigerate overnight.

Remove dough from refrigerator. Shape into balls about 1 1/2 inch

in diameter, and place on lightly greased baking sheets about an

inch apart. Flatten balls to 1/2 inch and let rise for about 10

minutes. Make indentions in the middle of each kolache by pressing

down firmly with the first two fingers of both hands. Spoon about

1 T filling into each indention. Sprinkle about 1/2 t streusel

topping over filling. Cover kolaches with a sheet of wax paper,

and let rise until double in bulk. Remove wax paper and bake in

350 degree oven for 15−20 min. or until light tan. Remove from

oven and brush top edges and sides with melted butter.

Makes about 2 dozen.
