BLUEBERRY PIEROGI
You've probably heard of savory pierogi - those delicious Polish dumplings - but what about sweet? These blueberry-filled pierogi (babcine pierogi z jagodami) are a unique and fruity after-dinner dessert. Serve the pierogi the traditional Polish way: drizzle with melted butter and top with soured cream, then sprinkle with additional sugar and blueberries.

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.

BLUEBERRY PIEROGIES
You've probably heard of savory pierogies but blueberry pierogies are quite traditional in the Polish culture. These are at every single one of my fiancé's family parties! Impressing him was #1 so I tried my hand at making Polish dough instead of my go-to pasta dough!

Steps:
- Bring a pasta pot filled with water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, place the flour on a clean work surface. Create a well in the center and add the egg, oil and salt to the well. Using a fork, beat the wet ingredients together. Pour about 1/2 cup of the warm water into the egg mixture. Using the fork, slowly begin incorporating some of the flour into the wet ingredients. Add 1/4 cup more of the warm water. As the dough begins to come together, use a bench scraper to start incorporating more flour. A shaggy dough will begin to form. Add 1/4 cup more of the warm water and continue to mix the dough. At this point, depending on the temperature and humidity, you may need to add more water; you are looking for a smooth dough that's not too sticky. If you added too much water, sprinkle some more flour over the dough and continue kneading until smooth. Once the dough is formed, knead it until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let rest 5 minutes.
- Fill a small bowl with water. Roll the dough out until it is thin enough to see your fingers through it, about 1/16 inch thick. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Place 3 to 5 blueberries on one half of each round. Dab a finger in the water and wet the edges of the dough, then fold the dough over and press the edges to seal each into a half-moon. Repeat with all the rounds.
- Working in batches, drop the pierogis into the boiling water. Cook until they float, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the pierogis with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet or platter and sprinkle with the sugar while they are still warm.
- Meanwhile, for the sweet dipping sauce: Whisk together the sour cream, sugar, vanilla paste and salt in a medium bowl. Serve the warm pierogis with the sauce.
PIEROGI WITH BLUEBERRY FILLING AND SPICED SOUR CREAM
Pierogi are an incredibly versatile food, adapting to both sweet and savory fillings. Seasonal fruit, such as plump blueberries or Italian plums, makes the dumplings lighter. We added nutmeg to the sour cream for a hint of spice. For a step-by-step guide, see our How-To.

Steps:
- Make filling:Crush 2 cups blueberries with your hands. Toss with remaining 6 cups whole blueberries and the sugar. For each pierogi, use 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons filling.
- Make Spiced Sour Cream:Mix together sour cream, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Serve chilled. Makes 1 cup
Tips:
- To make the dough, use a food processor or a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. This will make the process much easier and faster.
- If you don't have a food processor or a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it well until it is smooth and elastic.
- Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will prevent it from sticking to your hands.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
- To make the blueberry filling, use fresh blueberries. Frozen blueberries can also be used, but they will not be as flavorful.
- Be sure to add a little bit of sugar to the blueberry filling. This will help to sweeten the filling and make it more flavorful.
- When assembling the pierogi, be sure to seal the edges well. This will prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
- To cook the pierogi, you can either boil them or steam them. Boiling is the more traditional method, but steaming is a healthier option.
- Be sure to serve the pierogi with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, butter, and sugar.
