Pierogi Recipe

Dough Preparation

Begin by mixing enriched wheat flour with water, an egg, and a pinch of salt to form a smooth dough. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each out into a thin circle.

Filling Preparation

For the classic potato and cheese filling, combine mashed potatoes with cheese (such as cottage cheese), finely chopped onions, salt, and pepper to taste. Alternatively, explore other fillings like meats, fruits, or other vegetables.

Assembling the Pierogi

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges together to seal.

Cooking

Boil the pierogi in salted water until they float to the surface, then drain. For a crispy finish, sauté the boiled pierogi with onions in butter until golden brown. Serve hot, topped with sour cream.
