PIEROGI LENIWE (POLISH LAZY DUMPLINGS)
Vintage recipe from St. Mary's Polish Church, McKeesport, PA. The name for this thick and delicious noodle stems from the fact you mix the cheese right into the dough. You don't even have to stuff the dumplings! It is an easy dish and very tasty. Meatless, it was a Lenten favorite years ago. We need to save these old-time recipes before they are gone forever! NOTE: You can substitute regular cottage cheese rinsed and drained VERY WELL. The farmer cheese called for is very similar in texture to cottage cheese; it is not the solid formed sliceable cheese you sometimes see... And the buttered breadcrumbs are key! It IS a Polish recipe, you know.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of hard and soft cheeses in the dumpling mixture.
- If you don't have self-raising flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to all-purpose flour.
- Make sure the water is gently simmering before adding the dumplings. A rolling boil will cause the dumplings to break apart.
- Cook the dumplings until they rise to the surface and are cooked through. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve the dumplings immediately, drizzled with melted butter and sprinkled with fresh parsley.
