Number Of Ingredients 7

Basic Pierogi
24 small Italian plums
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Cut a slit into (but not through) each plum; remove pits. Fill cavity of each plum with 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Close plum before wrapping in dough. Use 1 plum for each pierogi.
  • Mix together sour cream, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Serve chilled. Makes 1 cup.

Tips:

  • To make the pierogi dough, combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. If the dough is too dry, add more water.
  • To make the Italian plum filling, combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • To make the spiced sour cream, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • To assemble the pierogi, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut out 3-inch circles of dough.
  • Place a spoonful of the Italian plum filling in the center of each circle of dough. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pierogi and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top of the water. Remove the pierogi from the pot and drain on paper towels.
  • Serve the pierogi with the spiced sour cream.
