Instructions
Pierogi Filling
- In a medium bowl, mix the farmer's cheese, sugar and egg until well combined. Set aside.
Pierogi Dough
- Whisk the eggs together with sour cream, lukewarm water, and milk until the mixture has an even texture.
- Add in flour, sugar, and salt to the liquid ingredients. Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer with dough hook attachment until it is no longer sticky.
Making Pierogi
- Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface. Using a cup or biscuit cutter, stamp out circles in the dough. Flour the cup to make it easier to cut circles.
- Fill the circles with the cheese filling, placing the filling in the center.
- Fold over the edges of the circles and pinch the edges with your fingers. Make sure the edges are tightly sealed so the filling does not fall out.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 10-20 vareniki and cook until they float to the top. Drain, then top the hot vareniki with a few small slices of butter. Optionally, serve with sour cream, jam, or sugar.
