Why I Make Mine With Refrigerated Biscuits
Grocery Store Biscuits
I came up with the idea to use refrigerator store biscuits being very busy during an event and decided to take a shortcut. These are a family and friend favorite especially because they are smaller in size and light.
I use the Pillsbury Buttermilk Flaky Layers Biscuits brand I have been using this brand to make this easy mini pastry recipe for years.
Preheat the Oven to 375 degrees F
Easy Mini Kolaches Recipe
Step: 1 Split Canned Biscuits In Half
First thing, open the biscuit can and split the pieces in half. This is how to make this mini size dessert recipe and mini pastry recipe. This is a straightforward step to do.
Step: 2 Melt Butter In The Microwave-Safe Bowl
Next step, melt 3 tablespoons of salted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl for 20 seconds. If it isn’t all melted, no worries. stir or swirl the bowl a bit and it will melt. Dip one side of the biscuit half in the melted butter.
Dip one side of the dough in the butter and place the butter side up.
Optional: Dip the other side of the dough too for an extra buttery Kolache. This makes these mini pastries extra delicious.
In the meantime, cut 2 tablespoons of butter for the crumb topping. Also, open your pie filling. I always use solo brand pie filling and every flavor is delicious. However, my favorite flavors are raspberry and almond which I’m using for this simple recipe for dessert.
You can use the brand of pie filling you enjoy but this is fantastic filling!
