Kolaches are delicious! And Texans love ’em as much as Tex-Mex and BBQ.

I love kolaches, real kolaches, sweet not savory. Pronounced “ko-lah-chee.” Kolaches are Czech pastries made of a yeast dough and usually filled with fruit, but sometimes cheese. The ultra-traditional flavors — such as poppy seed, apricot, prune and a sweet-but-simple farmer’s cheese — can be traced back to the pastry’s Eastern European origin–The Czech pastry that took Texas by storm, and keeps gaining strength. NPR November 28, 2016.
Savory kolaches are known as klobasneks, actually kolbasnik (pl. klobásníky) as they are known in the Czech Republic. My great-grandmother, born in Czechoslovakia, emigrated to Poth, TX in the Czech belt and she never made klobasniks, she made kolaches, although I enjoy them both very much. Anyhow, I am attaching a great article on the history and popularity of this awesome pastry By DAN Q. DAO and Saveur magazine here.
