Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The above are what I call Grandma Varuska Kolache. Grandma Bouza Kolache were open face. She placed the buns farther apart and then when they had risen, stretched an indentation in each bun and put the filling in it.
Place buns close together in a 9 x 13 pan. When filled place close together. The Kolaches will be deeper with a thinner outer base and the filling will be spread nicer. TOOK ME YEARS TO DISCOVER THIS!
