| Home-made kolaches
Posted: 8/6/2007 9:20:24 AM | Ok, so the other day I made these kick-ass kolaches.
I took a can of biscuits.
A pack of jalapeno/chedder sausage
cream cheese/and cheddar cheese.
I first cooked the sausage in a skillet.
Then rolled out all the biscuits.
I then placed the cooked sausage, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese and rolled up the biscuit.
I then placed them in the oven on 350 for 10 minutes...and YUMMY!!!
Anyone else have any suggestions.... | |

Posted: 2/28/2008 8:35:00 AM | Ohhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyy Goddddddd,
I know that sounded like a teeny bopper valley girl, but ...
I MISS TEXAS KOLACHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think of them often and in all of my years cooking, I have NEVER been able to pry an authentic Czechoslavakian kolache dough recipe from anyone! Those things are sealed tighter than Fort Knox.
If anyone, anywhere has an AUTHENTIC OLD WORLD kolache dough recipe, from a true Czech aunt or mom, please, please, please send it my way.
THANK YOU in advance
My favorite are cheese jalapeno sausage, poppy seed, prune and apricot. Oh and of course, cream cheese. I grew up on them and they were my breakfast 3 days a week when I still lived in Texas. | |

Praseks does have a web site that they will mail Kolaches, also they make homemade jerkey which is very good.They have been in business for over 32 yrs. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 12:34:28 PM | Jeepers, guys. All you had to do was ask.
Kolache dough
61/2 cups flour, sifted
3 T. granulated, sifted sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter (or lard if you are poor), softened
3 large eggs, beaten
2 pkg. dry yeast dissolved in 1/2 cup warm water.
1 cup evaporated milk
Put flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter, beaten eggs, yeast mixture, and evaporated milk. Blend until well-combined. Knead on a slightly floured board until dough is smooth and elastic. Mixer with a dough hook can be used. If dough is too sticky, add more flour. Put dough aside, cover, and prepare fillings.
I've adapted this to a more modern recipe. It belonged to my late husbands great grandmother, and I just couldn't get the things her recipe used.
In a crunch, I use frozen bread dough. Just thaw and mix in some sugar, then let rise. I can tell the difference, but most people can't.
My favorite fillings are nut, prune, or poppy seed. I used to spend hours making the fillings, but now some pretty good ones come in cans. | |

My Grandmother made the most awsome poppyseed kolaches. The recipe went with her to her grave, even Mom didn't have it.
Now just to get a memory of the taste, I visit our annual "Cultual Festival". Have to get there very early to get te poppyseed ones as they go faster than the other flavors, and the will limit those those to a dozen per person. Its always on a Saturday, and Sunday morning breakfast is eggs and sausages and kolaches. One day a year.
Sharing some of the traditions from my childhood with my own children is a real bonding experience.
Now if only had Grandmas ginger snap cookie recipe I'd be in heaven. Can't find any that taste the way hers did. Wonder what she did different that made them so damn good. | |

Posted: 7/15/2008 1:17:06 PM | Hi WesternRose, Many of the first settlers of Texas were German, they brought European food preferences with them, I suppose. There are still communities with a largely German population and there will always be a kolache shop ~ or more ~ in town.
Yummm,,,

Posted: 7/17/2008 9:29:39 AM | I grew up making kolaches!! People go in my kitchen and want to know why the heck i have all thos giant mixing bowls and cookie sheets Kolaches are NOT made with buscuits or buscuit dough any more than REAL chili has beans in it!! If i gave you the dough recipe tho i'd have ta kill ya
The real kolache makers that came to texas were polish and or czech, and i've tried them everywhere, but most of the shops these days are getting lazy and the dough is no longer authentic.
What would Christmas day breakfast be without home made kolaches and tamales?? | |

Posted: 7/31/2008 3:03:06 AM | Caskey, you are right on the money. There is no such thing as a kolache made with biscuit dough. Makes me shiver. I hate to hear that places are selling fake ones. My mothers family is from a town that is, or has historically been, predominately Czech. I have Czech relatives, had that is, they are all dead, but no one gave up the kolache recipe. They had wars over them, but they were basically the same dough. I haven't made pazoozoo's yet, but hers sounds right to me.
At present here in Michigan there is a lady staying here that is from Prague and she said she would give me her recipe, but hers does not have eggs in it. I know the ones I have had and love have eggs in them, that is why the dough/bread/pastry is sort of yellow.
I always think of Kolaches and Tamales for special days....What Texan wouldn't? Czech and Mexican culture is deep in Texas, as well as German beer, Polish Sausage and Cowboy BBQ and beans. I am well aware that unless you are a Texan, you will never know what really makes up Texas culture. | |

Posted: 7/31/2008 8:02:33 AM | Sausages wrapped in biscuits at my house are ~ pigs in a blanket ~ not kolaches. Actually I don't even normally use biscuit dough to make pigs in a blanket,, I use crescent roll dough. I make them often,, I have small kids and they love them,, but these are NOT kolaches, more like a hot dog.

Posted: 7/31/2008 10:55:02 AM | Kolaches are no different than
Chilli con Carne~~~~~~~~Chile with Meat
or Fajitas ala Paria~~~~~~"Skirt Steak" grilled over coals
Once the "Masses" get a hold of the dish, it goes through an evolution till the dish becomes unrecognizable...
In the "old" days I remember Chilli being called Chile con carne...Meat stewed with chile powder/pods and spices. Now at days, if your chilli has less than 10 ingredients it isn't considered "Authentic". (Beans were served with chilli because they were usually in a pot next to the chile con carne...so when you serve your chilli you serve yourself beans and/or rice to. )
same with "Fajitas"...Faja in spanish means Belt, so fajita means little belt. Now at days, Fajitas aren't even made with skirt steak. And how in the world can you have a "Chicken Fajita"? Now, Fajitas has become a "Cooking Method". | |

Posted: 8/1/2008 5:49:28 AM | Msg 22
I had the "Beef Fajitas" in a restaurant in California City, Ca. When the dish came to the table, the meat wasnt skirt steak...I asked the waiter what kind of meat they used for Fajitas. He looked at me and said "beef".
Ive seen Rach Ray make her fajitas with Flank steak, and Ive seen others use flank or top sirloin.
those are great cuts of meat, but thats called Carne Asada...Grilled beef in which you can use any cut of beef.
Now at days, if you add onions and bell peppers, the "beef" magically becomes "Fajitas".
Sorry to get off top gang... | |

Posted: 8/2/2008 7:38:27 PM | Yes SAGuy I agree and I have seen what you are talking about.
My question to them is, "Don't you do any reasearch before you go on national television?"
If they want to slice up the flank steak and wrap it in a flour tortilla, don't they know that is already a Mexican dish??? It is called Tacos Al Carbon, right? That would be flank steak, not fajitas.
I get all irritated that people in US are not aware of real corn tortillas and it seems even Mexican's are using more and more maizeca, which isn't the same as a true corn tortilla. I love yellow corn tortillas and grew up making them with the Mexican family that were like my 2nd parents. The mom never spoke English her whole life. She only used maizeca for certain enchiladas. I could never find true corn tortillas outside of Texas or Oklahoma.
Oh question to you....Which cut is Milanesa usually made from? I love a good Milanesa. Is it authentically made from both pork and beef? I have had both in authentic Mexican restaurants. Once in a border town I was told it was cat LOL it was a strange taste, so maybe it was. | |

Posted: 8/2/2008 8:41:33 PM | | Back to the kolaches. I haven't made any in awhile but I sometimes liked to add posipka (sp?) on top. Posipka is the little butter crumbles. I remember them on some fruit filled kringles too when I was a kid. | |
