Kolaches

By now everyone has heard of the horrible explosion that occurred in West, TX. Like many others my first thought was “I hope the Czech Stop is OK.” For anyone who ever travelled between Dallas & Austin (in our case it was Sherman & Austin) the Czech stop was the place to stop. It had clean bathrooms but most importantly- Texas Kolache.
Needless to say since the horrible explosion I have been craving them. I found a recipe & attempted my own. The result is below.

The next time I make them I will use higher quality sausage- but otherwise so yummy.
