decided to make kolaches because i have so many different preserves in my fridge. well actually i have 3 homemade and 1 store bought, but that's a lot more than i usually keep at a time, which is usually 1. i finally finished the apricot preserves, which lasted me forever even though it was really really delicious. i also used the prickly pear jam melinda made me for the rest of the kolaches. i really enjoyed the kolaches cuz the were relatively easy to make, even though the dough was a lot more moist than it probably should have been when i was trying to roll it out. ryan thought the dough needed a little bit more sugar and he thought they were bland, but i thought they were tasty and kind of reminded me of scones.
1 3/4 cups biscuit mix
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 cup rolled oats, quick or regular, uncooked
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
confectioners sugar
6 tablespoons thick preserves, any flavor
Put biscuit mix into mixing bowl. Cut in butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in oats and sugar.
Combine egg, milk and vanilla extract; add to dry ingredients. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough onto lightly floured board. Knead lightly several times. Roll dough 1/2-inch thick and cut out 3-inch rounds with floured cookie cutter. Place on greased baking sheet. Press a deep indentation in center of each round with back of floured spoon or thumb. Fill each with 1 teaspoon of preserves. Bake at 400 degrees F until done and lightly browned, about 10 or 12 minutes. More preserves may be added after baking. Sprinkle with sifted confectioners sugar.
