Mmmmmm!

Great for a Sunday night supper.

Recipe came from a very old Fannie Farmer cook book that my mother had from the 1930’s. The only way to make waffles!

For Dough…see “Kolache – Dough” recipe. Most of these recipes originated in Czechoslovakia and were brought to America by my grandmother in the late 1800’s. There have been changes made throughout the years to meet modern ingredient requirements. To make the authentic poppy seed filling you will need a poppy seed grinder. You can find one on the internet, about $40. There are other methods for this and I will go over those in the directions. Each Czech family has their own version of fillings and dough…this is ours…and I believe to be the most authentic. I would not attempt to make kolaches unless you are familiar with yeast dough as they are difficult.

For fillings, see Kolaches – Fillings recipe. This recipe was originated in Czechoslovakia and brought to America by my grandmother in the late 1800’s. It has been changed through the years to meet modern ingredient requirements. I do not recommend you try this unless you are very familiar with making yeast breads and/or what a Kolach is. Every Czech family has their own version of this…this is ours…and I feel it is a very authentic one.

This came from a very popular restaurant in Dallas, Texas, 1970’s called “Southern Kitchen”; it is now closed down…but it’s rolls are still well remembered! I clipped this from a newspaper soon after they closed.

This recipe is from the 1970’s from my days at Lone Star Gas Company and the Home Ec department. One of those cakes that is better two days later.

My family will not forgive me if I fail to make this for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They will eat it with the meal and add a dollop to their dessert plate too!!

You can use my pie recipe or you can use your own pie recipe…just follow the part about adding the cranberries.
