Steps:
- Make the dough: Whisk together egg and sour cream. Whisk in milk and water. Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time.
- Turn out dough onto a floured surface. (Dough will be loose and sticky.) Using a bench scraper, turn and fold dough to knead, dusting with flour as needed, until elastic and no longer sticky, 8 to 10 minutes. (Dough will come together as you knead it. Be careful not to add too much flour, since it will toughen the dough.) Cover with an inverted bowl; let rest for 1 hour.
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a clean linen towel, and dust generouslywith cornmeal to prevent sticking.
- Roll out 1 piece of dough on a lightly floured surface into a 1/8-inch-thick round (keep other pieces covered).
- Cut out circles very close together, using a 3-inch cutter or glass (5 inches for the plum version). Cover with plasticwrap to prevent dough from drying. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Fill pierogi: Place filling in center of each dough circle. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Holding 1 circle in your hand, fold dough over filling. Pinch edges, forming a well-sealed crescent.
- Transfer to cornmeal-dusted towel, and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough circles and filling. Working in batches, transfer pierogi to boiling water. They will sink to the bottom and then rise. Once they have risen, cook through, about 2 minutes more (or up to 4 minutes for plum pierogi, depending on ripeness). For savory pierogi, coat a platter with half the butter. Transfer pierogi to platter using a slotted spoon. Drizzle tops with remaining butter, and season with salt. For sweet pierogi, transfer to a platter using a slotted spoon, and dot with sour cream.
PIEROGI (POLISH DUMPLINGS)
This recipe has been a family favorite passed on from generation to generation. We traditionally make these for Christmas, but they can be made for any special event. There's some work involved, but the outcome is rewarding! After the perogies have boiled, they can be fried in some butter and onions or served with sour cream.

Steps:
- To prepare the sauerkraut filling, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the drained sauerkraut and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then remove to a plate to cool.
- For the mashed potato filling, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir into the mashed potatoes, and season with salt and white pepper.
- To make the dough, beat together the eggs and sour cream until smooth. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder; stir into the sour cream mixture until dough comes together. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until firm and smooth. Divide the dough in half, then roll out one half to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 3 inch rounds using a biscuit cutter.
- Place a small spoonful of the mashed potato filling into the center of each round. Moisten the edges with water, fold over, and press together with a fork to seal. Repeat procedure with the remaining dough and the sauerkraut filling.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add perogies and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until pierogi float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon.

PEROGIES WITH VARIOUS TRADITIONAL FILLINGS
What can I say, I love these little babies and they love me back, so I only do this twice a year and "ration" them out! I make double to triple the amounts and freeze for later use. To serve boil, drain and then fry in butter with a lot of onions and serve with a dollop of sour cream!

PIEROGI FILLING
I grew up on Mrs. T's, never knowing what a homemade pierogi tasted like. I still have love for Mrs. T's, but there is nothing like a homemade pierogi; it's the ultimate comfort food for me. I won't bother to put up a dough recipe since there are so many good ones out there but I will advise never to trust a pierogi dough recipe that doesn't call for sour cream. So here are my recipes for potato and cheese, cabbage, and meat fillings. I try to cut a few corners since making pierogies is an all day event. They are all my own creations with the exception of the hunter's seasoning mix which I found in a traditional polish cookbook called "Polish Holiday Cookery" by Robert Strybel. You can make your own mix by using the instructions below or order the seasoning mix from an online food exporter or specialty store.

Steps:
- For the Cabbage Filling: cut the cabbage into quarters. Steam until very tender, about 15 minutes; drain and cool. Wrap cooled cabbage in a towel, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Simmer finely chopped onions in butter and chicken broth until the onion is translucent - add the cooled cabbage salt and pepper. Let simmer until heated. Stir in the cream cheese and dill (or substitute caraway seeds if you prefer).
- Instant Potato and Cheese Filling: Sautee the onion and butter in a small pot until the onion is translucent. Add enough water based on the instant mashed potato package directions (I would guess but every brand is different) and add the chives. Once the water has boiled, remove the pot from the heat and add the potato flakes, cheese and cream cheese.
- Ground beef filling: In a large frying pan, simmer the finely chopped onions in the butter and cook until the onions are translucent. Prepare the ground beef by combining and kneading it with the hunter's seasoning (see below). Add it to the onion mixture, chopping it with your spatula so it doesn't cook together. Cook until all of the pink is gone.
- Hunter's seasoning recipe: Make as much or as little as you want using this ratio. This will make more than the 3 tablespoons amount, but I don't know what the ratio would be for exactly that amount. I always make a jar full and keep it on hand since it's a good general meat seasoning for beef or poultry. 2 teaspoons Marjoram, 1 teaspoons peppercorn, 1 teaspoons caraway, ½ teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoons onion powder, 1 teaspoons Allspice to taste, Cloves to taste, 1 crushed bay leaf, 1 teaspoons Juniper berries (A difficult thing to find, you can substitute this by adding a few shots of gin to the ground beef while kneading; gives it a great flavor and all the alcohol will cook out).

NANA'S PIEROGIES
My Nana would take me to my cousin Jeannies house every year to make these. We would roll out the dough and they would let me help cut them, fill them and seal them. I felt like such a big part of the process. However I must say the best part was eating them : ) I enjoy them best with potato and cheese, however you can also fill them with potato and saurkraut or potato and spinich and cheese as well as many other combinations. Serve them boiled with butter, or pan fried with onions or deep fried like they do at the fairs. Try them topped with salsa or even pasta sauce. Your imagination is your only limit to how you can fix em up! My fav way to eat them is pan fried with onions or scallions and lots of butter! Or deep fried then brushed with a bit of butter Nana always made my tastebuds happy :)

Steps:
- Mix the flour and salt in a deep mixing bowl.
- Add egg, oil and water to make a medium soft dough.
- Knead dough on a floured surface until the dough is smooth. Do NOT over knead dough or it will become tough!
- Divide your dough into two parts and cover them. Allow to set covered for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare Filling: Boil potatoes until they are soft. Drain and return to pot.
- Melt butter and oil on medium heat, add onion and garlic and cook about 2 minutes. Just till onions are softened. Lower your heat and cook until onions are lightly browned or carmelized. Season with salt and pepper. ( You can add more butter while cooking to avoid the onions burning)
- Add onions once they are cooled to potatos. Then add cheese. Mash until all large potato lumps are gone and cheese and onions are blended into potatoes. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Set aside.
- Prepare pierogies: Roll the dough out thin on a floured surface. Cut circles using a large biscuit cutter, or the mouth of a large glass. Place a spoonful of potatoe and cheese filling in each circle and fold over to make a half circle. Make sure no filling is near the edges. Press the edges together with your fingers to seal each pierogi. Making sure they are sealed well so filling doesnt come out while cooking. Put filled pierogi on a floured surface and cover with a tea towel to keep them from drying up. ( you can seal them with a little water & press down on edges with a fork to help keep them from coming apart while cooking)
- Cooking Pierogies: COOKING: Drop a few pierogies (about 6)into a large quantity of rapidly boiling salted water. (I add oil to the water to help prevent them from sticking together) Do not cook too many at a time or they will not cook correctly. Stir VERY gently with a wooden spoon to separate pierogies and to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pot or each other. Boil for 3-4 minutes or until they are puffed up. Remove pierogies from water with a slotted spoon or skimmer and transfer to a colander to drain completely. Transfer to a deep dish, and generously add melted butter to prevent them from sticking.
- Serve with melted butter and fried onions To reheat: Pan fry in butter until browned and serve with onions or scallions, or deep fry and brush with butter before serving (I love them this way) Freezing:If you choose not to cook all the pierogies at this time, you can refrigerate uncooked pierogies for several days or freeze them for several months.

- Pierogi ruskie (potato and cheese pierogi) I will start with the most popular pierogi in Poland (at least in the region where I come from) and my personal favorite pierogi – pierogi ruskie.
- Potato and cheddar filling. This is an Americanized recipe for traditional polish potato and cheese pierogi, where you add cheddar cheese in place of polish twaróg cheese which is not easily available outside of Poland.
- Potato filling. This filling seems to be very popular abroad but it’s not really in Poland. You can make it with mashed potatoes and sauteed onion, season generously with salt and pepper.
- Sauerkraut and mushroom filling (pierogi z kapustą i grzybami) This is my second favorite pierogi type! The recipe features cooked sauerkraut, sauteed onions and mushrooms (wild mushrooms and cremini mushrooms).
- Sweet cheese filling. My third favorite pierogi! The filling is made with Polish twaróg cheese (farmer’s cheese), sugar, and egg yolks. Yum! Here’s the recipe: sweet cheese pierogi.
- Sauerkraut filling (pierogi z kapustą kiszoną) Pierogi can be also filled with just sauerkraut, without the mushrooms. I don’t have that recipe yet but it will be surely posted in the future!
- Wild mushroom filling (pierogi z grzybami) This filling is usually used to stuff uszka – little pierogi that are served with Christmas Eve Borscht soup (Barszcz czerwony/Barszcz wigilijny).
- Meat pierogi (pierogi z mięsem) Meat filling is usually made from the meat leftover from rosół soup (meat broth). The meat is then put through a meat grinder and combined with sauteed onions, and sometimes mushrooms.
- Dessert pierogi (fruit pierogi) Sweet pierogi are filled with fruits. Any type of summer fruit can be used. The most popular fruit pierogi are blueberry pierogi, strawberry pierogi, and sweet cherry pierogi.
- Vegan pierogi with sun-dried tomato and lentil filling. This is not a traditional filling, but quite popular in Poland nowadays. The filling is made with sauteed onions with spices, red lentils and sun-dried tomatoes.
