Ingredients

For the Filling
  • 1 ¼ c (6 oz) blueberries
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp unbleached all purpose flour
For the Dough
  • 1 ¾ c unbleached all purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • dash salt
  • ¼ c milk
  • ¼ c water
Cooking
  • 2 qts water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oil (optional)
To Serve
  • ¼ c PLAIN yogurt or sour cream
  • 1-2 tsp sugar (to taste)

Instructions

For the Filling
    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash and dry the blueberries. Set aside. Mix sugar and flour in a small bowl. Set aside.
For the Dough
  1. In a medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Make a well in the middle of the flour and crack the egg into the well. Mix the egg into the flour until it is evenly distributed.
  2. Add the milk and mix until evenly distributed. Add the water 1-2 Tbsp at a time, mixing after each addition, until a smooth and soft dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough out to 1/8” thickness.
  4. Fill a medium saucepan with 2 quarts of water. Add salt and oil (the oil will help the pierogi from sticking together as it cooks). Cover and bring the water to a boil
  5. While your water comes to a boil, fill your pierogi. Using a 3 ½ ” cookie cutter (or the mouth of a glass or jar, anything that is roughly 3 ½ inches) cut circles out of the dough. Re-roll the dough scraps as needed until all the dough has been cut.
  6. Place about a tablespoon of berries on each round of dough. Sprinkle ¼ tsp of the sugar and flour mixture over the berries. Moisten the edge of each dough circle with a little water and fold the dough over the filling. Pinch the edges firmly to create a tight seal.
  7. Once you have 5-8 pierogi filled and sealed, drop them into the boiling water. Boil the pierogi until the dough is tender, 7-10 minutes.
  8. Using a large, slotted spoon, remove your cooked pierogi from the boiling water and place onto a plate. Continue with the remaining pierogi.*
To Serve
  1. Mix the yogurt with sugar to taste. Serve the pierogi topped with the sweetened yogurt, or use the yogurt as a dipping sauce.

Notes

  • *If you would like to freeze some pierogi for later, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet after they have been filled. Freeze them for 1-2 hours. After they have frozen, you can remove them from the baking sheet and store them in an air-tight container or zip-lock bag for 2-3 months.
  • To cook from frozen, simply drop the frozen pierogi into a pot of boiling water and cook for 8-12 minutes, until tender and puffy.
