Yield 80

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
2 eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups lukewarm water, or as needed
5 cups fresh blueberries
½ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Place flour on a clean work surface and make a well in the center. Crack eggs into the well, add butter, and pour in a little of the warm water. Start mixing together, adding a bit more water if needed. Knead well, continuing to add more water as needed. Continue kneading until dough is soft and smooth, adding a little more flour only if needed.
  • Dust a work surface with flour. Cut off 1/4 of the dough and roll out to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut out circles using a glass or a round pastry cutter.
  • Fill each dough circle with 1 teaspoon of blueberries and a sprinkle of sugar. Fold dough over into a half-moon shape and seal edges. Set aside on a tea towel and repeat with remaining dough, blueberries, and sugar.
  • Bring a large pan of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the pierogi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, 5 to 7 minutes. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes once they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a colander to drain.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries have the best flavor and texture for this recipe. If you can't find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overcook the blueberries: The blueberries should still have some texture when they are done cooking. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Spiced sour cream is a great addition to these pierogi: The spiced sour cream adds a tangy and flavorful topping to the pierogi. You can also use plain sour cream if you prefer.
  • These pierogi can be served as an appetizer or a main course: They are also great for a brunch or lunch. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Pierogi with blueberry filling and spiced sour cream are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give these pierogi a try. You won't be disappointed!
