How to make sweet dough:

Combine oleo and milk in saucepan. Mix yeast, warm water and the 2 teaspoons sugar in large mixing bowl. Beat eggs in cup with fork and add to oleo and milk mixture.

It may appear a little thick but the recipe is a proven one. Let the mixture set for about 15 minutes. Mix well again until the mixture is smooth. Let rise about 50 minutes or so depending on warmth in room. After dough has risen, divide into egg size portions with a spoon and form balls. Place on an oiled baking sheet about an inch apart and brush with melted butter. Let rise until light, then make indentation in each ball of dough for fruit. Sprinkle with Posipka Topping. Fruits most generally used are cooked, sweetened pureed prunes or apricots usually spiced mildly with cinnamon or nutmeg. Use of spices, optional. Cottage cheese is also popular for filling. It is blended with a dash of salt, a hint of sugar, a bit of lemon juice and grated rind. Over fruit filling sprinkle the crumb mixture, Posipka. Let the kolaches rise again and when the dough is light to the touch (approximately 20 minutes), bake in hot oven for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and again butter each kolache before removing from pan onto a wire cooking rack or large board.Posipka Topping:1 c. sugar1/2 c. flour2 Tbsp. melted butter Combine ingredients and mix until
