Pierogi Leniwe (Lazy Polish Ravioli) (Sweet Cheese Version) image

Thick and delicious pasta dumplings with the filling mixed right into the dough so you don't have to stuff them. Pronounced pyeh-RAW-ghee (this is the plural form, just one is called pierog, but they're so good you'll almost never eat just one.) This sweet cheese version topped with butter-browned bread crumbs makes for an interesting dessert, but also makes a nice light lunch.

  • Flatten the cylinder slightly and cut them crosswise into 2-inch rounds.
