Dough preparation

Start by mixing wheat flour, water, and optionally an egg to form a soft, pliable dough. Knead the dough until smooth, then cover it with a cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Filling preparation

For the filling, lightly sauté chopped cabbage (and optionally onion) until it's soft and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling the varenyky

Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a glass or cookie cutter. Place a tablespoon of the cabbage filling onto each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, sealing the edges tightly by pressing them together with your fingers or a fork.

Boiling the varenyky

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully place the varenyky in the boiling water and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve hot.
