#kolache

I thought very hard about this. I love dwarves. Played often as one in DnD, loved them in the hobbit and love to pieces Gimli in LOTR.

So, what would my beloved people love to eat as sweets?

Of course, someone would think : rock candy… That seems possible if a bit cliché. I have a recipe, but it was more to show kids how cristals can grow (we have one for salt as well) and I will share it with you (if you want to have fun at home). Home made Rock Candy

As we saw in the Hobbit they seem to love eating, a lot and pretty much everything. Remind me a lot about hobbits by the way. So I thought about something I love to bake, because I am closer to be a dwarf than any other races in LOTR.

So, here you go, not with one but two recipes. I am linking the video I found them on. And, believe me, I use those recipe A LOT.

Cinnamon rolls video and the recipe.

Kolache video and recipe. You have both version, savory and sweet.

Am I lazy to not rewrite the recipe? Yes. Probably. But I also love the music in the video for the cinnamon rolls AND Ethan is such a fun guy to watch cook (but not a dwarf). And, I say it again, not only are those recipes among my favorite, but my kids love them really really much.

Baking my way through 50 states:

Honey blackberry kolaches with cream cheese filling 🍯

But they are just gloridied pigs in a blanket. Not yeasty pastry with a fruit center! 😭

Did some research and apparently at least in Texas the blanket pigs are what they refer to using ‘kolache’. Got me curious
