And done! Kolaches! 4 with cheese blend only, 4 with cheese and a strawberry-rhubarb jam, and 8 with lemon curd.
@dolari they turned out great! I may have slightly overbaked them, but I had to rotate the trays to let the ones that had been on bottom get some top rack time. I'll adjust on the next batch.
Baking day!
@TonyaMarie @dolari ah yes the other kind of kolache, looks amazing.
Baking day!
@TonyaMarie @dolari in Texas we make kolaches with meat, a result of Czech immigrants moving there in the 1800s. I made some for the first time this week. It's like a meat pastry, I just have a hot dog and cheese and some jalapeño slices in there.
Baking day!
@secant2 @dolari See, I was told in no uncertain terms by folks in Texas claiming Czech descent that those are most definitely *not* kolaches. They were offended that so many people call them that. 😄
I do make sausage rolls, too. I use a milk roll dough, though, instead of pastry. Also very tasty! ❤️
Baking day!
@TonyaMarie @dolari oh yeah, I forgot about that thing lol. I just call them kolaches because I don't know anyone or any place that actually calls them koblanisky. I only ever really bought them around Houston though, I can't think of any time I ever bought them out in the hill country so probably a bit of a bias there.
Baking day!
@secant2 @TonyaMarie - The places that call them Koblanisky are usually the real deep Czech areas. I know in the Hill Country they're not called that or even kolaches. I always knew them as "pigs in a blanket."
Baking day!
@TonyaMarie @dolari ah yeah pigs in a blanket were always super different from this for me. Either hot dogs wrapped in the Pillsbury crescent rolls or, rarely for me, the sausages in pancakes.
Baking day!
@secant2 @dolari I have a friend who turned me on to quick sausage rolls using Pillsbury Grands dough. You carefully peel the layers to get three rounds from each full biscuit, then wrap Lil Smokies sausages in those. Quick and tasty!
I still use Lil Smokies for my sausage rolls, I just make my own dough now.
Baking day!
@dolari @TonyaMarie lil smokies are the way
Baking day!
@dolari @secant2 That's interesting. I grew up in Dallas, and I knew "pigs in a blanket" as sausages with pancakes wrapped around them. 🤔
