Name: Kolacky
Ingredients: 1 pk Active Dry Yeast; or 1 cake compressed; 2 tb Water; lukewarm; 2/3 c Butter; 3 Egg Yolks; 1/4 c Sugar; 1 ts Salt; 1 ts Lemon Rind; grated; 4 c All-Purpose Flour; sifted; 1 c (Approx) Light Cream Or Milk; Plum Or Apricot Jam; Confectioner's Sugar

God may define some people as enemies, but He says that we are to treat them as friends. Our duty is to consider how to serve them in such a way that they would be pointed to Jesus and repent from their sins… How can we even begin this impossible process?… Do we realize that we were Christ’s enemies? If we do, then we have no choice but to treat enemies the way God has treated us. Our conscience would rebel if we felt smug in a self-righteous judgment of our enemies.

INSTRUCTIONS

Sprinkle or crumble yeast into a small dish. Add water, very warm for dry
yeast and lukewarm for compressed yeast. After a minute or two, stir to
dissolve. Cream butter in a large bowl. Add egg yolks, sugar, salt and
lemon rind, beating after each addition. Stir in yeast; mix again. Add 2
cups of flour. Then alternately add remaining flour and cream; mix well to
make a soft dough. Form into a ball and put in a greased bowl. Turn over.
Put in a warm place, covered with a towel, to rise until doubled in bulk.
Turn out on a floured board; roll to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into
2-inch rounds. Arrange on ungreased cookie sheets; let rise, covered, in a
warm place until doubled in bulk. Make depression in the center of each
round; put in an adequate amount of jam. Bake in a preheated moderate oven
(375&deg;F.) about 12 mins, or until cooked. Sprinkle with confectioners'
suger. Makes about 4 dozen.
NOTES : This very well known yeast-raised bun may be filled with apples,
apricots, plums, peaches, nuts, a cottage cheese mixture, poppy seeds or
jam. Native to Bohemia, kolacky are beloved throughout Czechoslovakia.
