Czech Republic ? Kolaches

Ingredients

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 pkgs. dry yeast

1/2 cup warm water

2 eggs, beaten

4 cup flour (maybe more)

Filling

Streusel Topping

1/3 Additional butter or margarine, melted

Preparation

Heat sour cream until warm. Stir in sugar, salt and softened butter. Set aside to cool. Sprinkle yeast over warm water; let stand until yeast dissolves. Add to sour cream mixture. Add eggs and flour and mix well (dough does not need kneading). If necessary, work in enough flour to make dough spongy but not sticky. Put dough in a large, greased bowl; cover, and refrigerate overnight. Remove dough from refrigerator. Shape into balls about 1 1/2 inch in diameter, and place on lightly greased baking sheets about an inch apart. Flatten balls to 1/2 inch and let rise for about 10 minutes. Make indentions in the middle of each kolache by pressing down firmly with the first two fingers of both hands. Spoon about 1 T filling into each indention. Sprinkle about 1/2 t streusel topping over filling. Cover kolaches with a sheet of wax paper, and let rise until double in bulk. Remove wax paper and bake in 350 degree oven for 15?20 min. or until light tan. Remove from oven and brush top edges and sides with melted butter. Makes about 2 dozen.
