Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup water lukewarm
- 1/2 cup potato filling prepared
- 1/2 cup cheese filling prepared
- 2 tbsp butter for serving
- 1/2 cup sour cream for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
- Add the beaten egg and mix well.
- Gradually add the lukewarm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into two parts. Roll out one part to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles from the dough.
- Place a small spoonful of filling (either potato or cheese) in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the pierogi, a few at a time, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top.
- Remove the pierogi with a slotted spoon and drain well.
- Serve the pierogi hot, topped with melted butter and a side of sour cream.
