My mom knows her way to our hearts! She makes this Czech "kolac" with whatever fruit is in season but I feel this Kolac tastes best with ripe and slightly tart plums. The dough is fluffy and light and the sugared plums come out almost caramelized. She tops the Kolac with a buttery crumble that comes out crisp and sweet. I've told myself a million times that I need to write down her recipe but then I think nothing is better than having your mama make it for you! Besides, there is no way I could ever make it as good as she does. One day, I promise to get this recipe but until then, this is our bait for coming home.Friday, October 20, 2006

Ain't nothing quite like Mom's cooking is there? I can technically make my moms recipes, but they never taste as good as when she makes them. :)

Aren't mom's recipes the best?!
Thanks for telling us about your mom's kolach. I bet is unbelievable with the plums.
Is it terrible to want some of that pie for breakfast right now?
Hi Dianka, I can even smeel it here, there is some cinnemon and cloves and browned butter and caramelized plums in the air !
Sounds delish! That's funny because a few months ago my mom made a plum dessert that was similar (but with a cookie crust instead of a cake) and I've been meaning to post it for a while. Great moms think alike, huh?
Ohhhh! Delicious looking! I think it tastes even more special when your mom makes it for you. ;-)
Have a good one!
xxoo

I am seriously drooling over that kolach!
I think I would break my diet for that. It looks scruptious.
A friend of mine is czech and her baba makes the best kolach ever! I always forget the name of it though and want to call if clafouti.
WOW - you made me really hungry!
I would do anything right now for a little - or big! please! -slice
