My grandfather and father were both born in Czechoslovakia. I used to love seeing my grandma prepare these little pastries at Christmas, and I couldn't wait to taste them when she was through. I sincerely hope you love this dish as much as I do. You'll need a lot of space to work in.

Kolachky

In a large bowl, mix together flour and yeast. Work in Crisco and butter. Add eggs and sour cream, mixing with your hands until well incorporated. Shape into a ball, wrap with plastic, and chill at least 1 hour or overnight.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or bake on ungreased pans.

Sprinkle granulated sugar thickly on a flat surface. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickeness. Cut into 3-inch circles. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in center and either fold two ends to the center and pinch, or fold in half, crimping the edge, to form a half moon shape. Transfer kolachky to prepared pan and repeat until all the dough is finished.
