Polish Pierogi image

This recipe was handed down through my cousin's family. These are a great alternative to plain potatoes. Serve them plain pan fried, steamed, smothered in herbs and butter or with a dab of sour cream and bacon crumbs. Any way you serve them they are great for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Steps:

  • 1. DOUGH: Mix all ingredients until dough holds together, add more milk if needed.(Using slightly more than 1/2 cup milk works best, but 3/4 cup milk is way too much). Use a medium size glass to cut out circles, or a 2 inch round cookie cutter. Keep board floured while working.
  • 2. Fill Pierogi with your choice of filling and crimp closed. A fork works really well for this.
  • 3. Drop pierogi in a large pot of boiling water and cook 5 minutes or until they rise to the top. Dip in melted butter. Package in zip-loc bags. These freeze very well.
  • 4. To heat and eat, saute' the pierogi in a pan of melted butter until golden. Serve with a ladle of melted butter over the top, a spoonful of sour cream with bacon crumbs on top to just name a couple ways to serve them.
  • 5. Chefs Note: If your pierogie is frozen, be sure the pierogie is thawed before you attempt to saute'. You can thaw to room temperature or you can put in a pan of boiling water for a few minutes to thaw then put in pan of melted butter and saute'
