| 1. In a small bowl, combine the yeast with the water. | 2. Set aside. | 3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and 1/4 cup sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. | 4. Mix in the egg yolks, milk, and salt, combining well. | 5. Stir in the dissolved yeast and the flour, and mix until the ingredients are thoroughly blended into a soft dough. | 6. Cover the dough with a towel, and set the dough aside to rise to about double in size, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. | 7. Grease a baking sheet. | 8. Pinch off pieces of dough about the size of a golf ball, flatten the balls slightly, and transfer them to the baking sheet. | 9. Place the balls at least 1 inch apart, and brush them liberally with the melted butter. | 10. Set them aside to double in size again, about 45 minutes to one hour. | 11. Gently indent the top of the dough with your thumb, fairly deep. | 12. Place the little pinky size smoked sausage link (could be a spicy sausage link, or could add cheese and/or jalapeno with the sausage link, too) in the indent and fold the kolache over the sausage and seal. | 13. Bake in 425 oven for 10- 12 minutes or until golden brown. | 14. Immediately brush butter on the top. | 15. They are best eaten as soon as they are cool enough to handle. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
