Mrs Murry’s Old Fashioned Moravian Kolacky

About the Recipe: An old-fashioned yeast sweet roll that is filled with baker’s or farmer’s cheese and then topped with thick sweet fruit pastry filling.  It’s sprinkled with buttery lightly spiced streusel and after baking, sprinkled with confectioners’ sugar.  The double filling is a wonderful surprise.

Cook’s Note:  The ingredients were by-handfuls so you might have to add more flour.  You can also use other flavors of pastry filling but thin jams or preserves will spill over during baking. I printed the recipe, as shared with me, but I prepared it with new premium quick yeast, and that also will work if you follow the directions on your yeast package.

Story about the Recipe: Platefuls of fresh-baked yeast sweet rolls were Mrs. Murry’s neighborly gift to our Christmas Eve table. There wasn’t any written recipe, because it was one of those old-fashioned “as you feel it” dishes that annually was prepared only for holidays. Since I was always begging for the directions, Busha, our Polish Grandmother, decided to surprise me by writing down each step as Mrs. Murry prepared them in her kitchen. After Busha died, I found the recipe carefully tucked inside one of her notebooks as a special Christmas gift. What a thoughtful present!  Thanks to her detailed directions, I was able to make them in my own kitchen and share them with all of you.

Yield: about 2 dozen sweet rolls
