Instructions
Cherry Filing
- Pit the cherries and cut each one into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Measure out the sugar in a separate bowl.
Vareniki Dough
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, lukewarm water, and milk until evenly combined.
- Add the flour, sugar, and salt to the liquid ingredients. Using the dough hook attachment or your hands, knead the dough until it is no longer sticky.
Making Vareniki
- Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and roll it out to about 3 mm thickness (or two stacked pennies) with a rolling pin. Using the floured rim of a glass or a biscuit cutter, stamp out circles in the dough.
- Working with one circle at a time, lightly stretch out the dough in your hand. Fill the center with a spoonful of cherries and a sprinkle of sugar.
- Fold the dough over to form a half-circle and firmly pinch the edges with your fingers. Make sure the edges are tightly sealed so the filling doesn't leak out.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 10-20 vareniki and cook until they float to the top. Drain the vareniki or take them out with a slotted spoon, then immediately top them with a few small slices of unsalted butter. Optionally, serve them with sour cream, more cherries, or sugar.
