Easy Delicious Mini Kolaches Recipe
This easy mini kolaches recipe uses simple ingredients. It's my twist on classic Czech kolaches.
Equipment
- 1 baking sheet or cookie sheet
- 1 Pastry cutter or small fork
- 1 small spoon
- 1 Medium microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan
- 1 Small bowl
- 1 airtight container
Ingredients
- 2 cans Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits
- 1/2 cup butter melted 3 tbsp butter melted, 2 tbsp of butter for the crumble topping
- 1 or 2 cans Solo Pastry Filling Flavor is your choice or your favorite sweet filling
- 3 & 2 tbsp butter melted asnd crumb topping
Instructions
Step 1: Crumb Topping
Place two tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup of sugar, and three tablespoons of flour in a medium bowl. This allows the butter to come to room temperature to combine the crumb topping for each top of the mini kolache pastry. Set aside to combine later.Cindy's Note: Since this isn't the first time I've made these kolaches, I've tweaked the crumb topping a bit. Adding an extra teaspoon of sugar gives it a little more sweetness and crunch. When you take a warm bite, you'll notice that extra crunch right away.Step 2: Separate Biscuits
Preheat oven to 375 degrees f. After opening the can of refrigerated biscuits, cut them into equal pieces. Each piece of dough (biscuit) should give you two halves.Step 3: Coat Dough
Place 1/2 cup of room temperature butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan. I melt butter in the microwave for 20 seconds on full power. Carefully remove the microwave-safe bowl with the butter; both will be warm.Cindy's Note: If the butter isn't completely melted, I stir the butter with a spoon. It completely melts.Step 4: Biscuits
Dip the top side of the refrigerated dough into the melted butter. This makes the top side of the mini kolaches pastry golden brown. Place the kolache dough on the baking sheet, cookie sheet, or muffin top pan butter side up.Cindy's Tip: Sometimes I dip the other side of the biscuit half into the butter. This adds extra buttery flavor to this homemade kolache recipe.Step 5: Slightly Flatten Dough
Using your fingertips, slightly flatten the kolache dough. Don't make it too deep. Remember, we are making mini homemade kolaches. You want some of the kolach dough empty. This is a great way to guarantee enough room for the delicious crumb topping filled with smooth butter and sugar.Step 6: Adding Pie Filling to the Top of Mini Kolache Recipe
Grab your favorite flavors of pie/fruit fillings from the grocery store to add to the top of mini kolache recipe. I use the tip of a small spoon and a clean fingertip. A small fork works too.Step 7: Combine the Topping
Using a pastry cutter or small fork, combine the softened tablespoons of butter and sugar. This is the best way to achieve the perfect crumble mixture to surround the pastry filling and great homemade kolacxhes.Step 8: Generously Sprinkle the Topping
Sprinkle a generous amount of the crumble on the top of the mini kolaches pastry. This combination, added to the melted butter, makes these delicious. Place the baking sheet, cookie sheet, or muffin top pan in the oven. Bake at 375 degrees f until the easy mini kolache recipe is golden brown.
