CZECHOSLOVAKIAN KOLACHE
My Czechoslovakian grandmother made kolache. They used to be made with shortening but it is healthier to use canola oil or butter. Czechoslovakian Kolache are sweet yeast rolls with fruit or cream cheese filling that are served for Easter and holidays. For Thanksgiving you can use a package of cranberries to make a fruit...
