Grandma's Koluches, thanks to Bernadette Prochaska, OR Kolaches from Therese Gross/Ruby.

Bake at 375 degrees, for 10 (Therese Gross) to 18 (Bernadette) minutes!

(I know it isn't the original cottage...but I can't find that far back on my computer/camera!)

OR, As Mom/Ruby do it...

Filling: 

2 c frozen berries

1 c sugar

1/2 c flour

--bring to boil, cook til thick (stir whole time so doesn't burn!)

Note: mom uses some brown sugar w apricot or apple...I use cinnamon w apples . Do whatever u want!

1/2c butter, melted

1c water w 1T yeast (hot water and mix yeast in. 1 packet is around 2 1/4t fyi )

3 eggs

1t salt

1/2c sugar 

4c flour

1. Beat the eggs by hand, then add Melted butter and all of the above EXCEPT flour. 

2. Then add flour. Mix by hand.

3. Cover and refrigerate overnight (OR make first thing in morning and let sit all day).

4. Flour surface and rolling pin, bc dough is sticky! Grab 1/3 dough at a time. Roll out to a little less than 1/2" thick. 

5. Use cup abt 2" wide (or a little bigger) to cut out circles. The use a smaller cup to press middle in.
