Dough Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 egg, 1/2 cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the dough comes together. Knead on a floured surface until smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes, covered.

Filling Preparation

Cook the chosen filling. For a potato-cheese filling, boil 2 large potatoes until tender, mash, and mix with 1 cup of grated cheese and salt to taste.

Assembly

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut circles using a round cookie cutter. Place a spoonful of filling on each dough circle, fold over, and press the edges to seal.

Cooking Pierogies

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pierogies in batches and cook until they float to the top, about 3-5 minutes. Then, pan-fry in butter until golden on both sides.

Serving

Serve the pierogies hot, topped with a generous amount of sour cream and a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
