What Are Kolaches?

Where Are These Pastries From?

The Kolache is a Czech pastry and is normally made from yeast dough. These are normally filled with fruit however cheese is added too.

I have made these using apricot, poppy, and all sorts of sweet pastry fillings.

Why Make Individual Desserts?

Benefits Of Individual Desserts

There are several reasons why someone might choose to make individual desserts:

  • Portion Control: Individual desserts allow for better portion control. This is especially important for people who are watching their calorie intake or trying to maintain a healthy diet.
  • Presentation: Individual desserts can be more visually appealing than large desserts. They can be dressed up with fancy garnishes or arranged in an attractive way.
  • Convenience: Individual desserts can be easier to serve and transport than a large dessert. They can be pre-portioned and packaged, making them perfect for picnics or parties.
  • Customization: Individual desserts allow for more customization. Guests can choose their own flavor or toppings, which can make for a more personalized experience.
  • Creativity: Making individual desserts can be a fun way to get creative in the kitchen. There are endless possibilities when it comes to flavor combinations, shapes, and decorations.

Overall, making individual desserts can be a great way to add some variety and excitement to your dessert game.

Why I Make Mine With Biscuits

The Reason I Use 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 these easy mini pastry recipe for years.

Preheat the Oven to 375 degrees F

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. This is a straightforward step to do.

Step: 2 Melt Butter In The Microwave

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 and every flavor is delicious. However, my favorite flavors are raspberry and almond which I’m using for this simple recipe for dessert.
