Traditional Czech koláče are small, no more than about eight centimetres across, and are village feast and wedding food. Moravian immigrants brought them to the United States.\n\nIn American English kolache is often used as the singular and given an extra s, which makes kolaches a double plural. Czech Texans notice.",
