SYLVIA'S KOLACHE DOUGH
This is another recipe my grandma submitted to the family cookbook she made for us. Her story for this recipe is as follows; "I got this recipe back in the 60s when I moved to Karnes City. I can't remember where I got it. I have used it many times over the years making kolaches and cinnamon rolls. My family always and still does like dessert. They are great to have on hand for thanksgiving or Christmas morning when everyone is hungry and you're busy trying to get the special holiday dinner prepared. The kolaches and cinnamon rolls can be made the day before or several days ahead and frozen. Please try your hand at these, I always loved making these, a little trouble, but you will get compliments. From scratch cooking and baking is a dying art." I have made these repeatedly since I received my cookbook for Christmas. They take a long time but are so rewarding!!! There are a bunch of variations that you can do with this dough, from sausage and cheese to fruit filed or making homemade cinnamon rolls, I will try and share the wealth with you guys.
