Bohemian Pastry

"This is a recipe that my Mother, Carrie Waters Cox Pazolt made every year. They are similar to kolaches. You can use prepared preserves, marmalade, or kolache filling. A teaspoon of preserves is about right; too much and it runs out of the pastries. Jelly doesn't work well because it runs out, too. You can substitute margarine for butter if you prefer. I like butter myself and have used butter for the vegetable shortening (Crisco) as well with no bad effects - except to my cholesterol... I did not count the overnight chilling time in the preparation time."
