Pierogi (Stuffed Dumplings)

Pierogi are filled pasta dumplings where the soft dough and creamy filling create a satisfying whole.

A simple dough is made from flour, water, egg and a little salt. It is rested, then rolled thin.

The classic filling is mashed potato mixed with cottage cheese or curd and seasoned generously.

• Circles are cut from the dough
• Filled and the edges pressed firmly to seal
• Boiled in salted water until they float

Optionally pan-fried in butter after boiling for a golden exterior. Served with sour cream.
