There is this delicious doughnut and kolache place not far down the road from where I grew up. I came to find out (as my husband is from Kansas) that both boudain, and kolaches are a southern thing. Kolache's (ko-lach-ees) are not to be confused with the northern variation Kolackys (ko-lach-kees). The southern version is a sweet flaky bread that typically has sausage in the middle, often with cheese and jalapenos, and I have discovered after moving to Illinois that the northern version is more of a pastry with fruit inside.
Anyway, since moving up here I have not gotten my hands on any boudain in the year and a half I have been near Chicago. Nonetheless, while visiting family in Texas, we packed a cooler with as many packages of boudain and dry ice as we could fit, and brought some up here with us. After getting my husband addicted to the stuff, we started making these delicious things again. So any of you lucky enough to live close enough to Louisiana to get a hold of the stuff (or maybe you can beg your local grocery store to start ordering it) here is my very easy recipe:
