 Directions

Sprinkle or crumble yeast into a small dish. Add water, very warm for dry

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
(375øF.) 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.
