Homemade Polish Pierogi Recipe:

Ingredients:For the dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

• Your choice of filling, such as mashed potatoes, cheese, sauerkraut, or ground meat

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, and melted butter until well combined.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
5. While the dough is resting, prepare your desired filling(s).
6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut out circles of dough.
7. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle.
8. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
9. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the pierogi into the boiling water, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
10. Cook the pierogi for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
11. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked pierogi to a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
12. If desired, you can now fry the pierogi in a skillet with butter until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
13. Serve the Homemade Polish Pierogi hot, topped with sour cream, sautéed onions, bacon bits, or your favorite toppings.

Enjoy!
