SOUR CREAM PIEROGI DOUGH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine flour, salt, sour cream , egg, and water in a large bowl.
• Mix until the dough comes together. If the dough is dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's moist and springy. If the dough is sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's smooth.
• On a floured work surface, knead the dough for 3 or 4 minutes until elastic. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

SOUR CREAM DOUGH FOR PIEROGI

Steps:

• Whisk flour, salt, eggs, sour cream, and milk together in a bowl. Add extra flour as needed to make dough less sticky.

GRANDMA'S POLISH PEROGIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, sour cream, eggs, egg yolk and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour until well blended. Cover the bowl with a towel, and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Place potatoes into a pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, and mash with shredded cheese and cheese sauce while still hot. Season with onion salt, salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
• Separate the perogie dough into two balls. Roll out one piece at a time on a lightly floured surface until it is thin enough to work with, but not too thin so that it tears. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter, perogie cutter, or a glass. Brush a little water around the edges of the circles, and spoon some filling into the center. Fold the circles over into half-circles, and press to seal the edges. Place perogies on a cookie sheet, and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to freezer storage bags or containers.
• To cook perogies: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop perogies in one at a time. They are done when they float to the top. Do not boil too long, or they will be soggy! Remove with a slotted spoon.

PIEROGI DOUGH WITH SOUR CREAM (2-INGREDIENT)

Steps:

• Tip four cups of flour onto your work surface, make a shallow well.
• Add sour cream in. Mix until combined - with your hands or with an electric mixer.
• If the dough feels too sticky to handle, add more flour.
• Dust both hands with flour and start kneading to form the dough.
• Cover the dough with a cloth or a large bowl. Set aside for 20-30 minutes. You can let the dough rest longer, even up to a few hours.
• Dust the worktop with some extra flour and transfer the dough onto it. Knead the dough for a minute or two. Cut a smaller piece of the dough off and roll it out - the thinner, the better.
• Cut out the circles - I use a rim of a glass, but a round cookie cutter works too. The size is up to you, but roughly 3 inches (8 cm) seems optimal.
• Scoop 1 tablespoon of pierogi filling of your choice and place it in the center of each circle.
• Press the edges and seal each dumpling.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Drop in pierogi in small batches, a few at the time. Wait for them to float, once they do - continue cooking for another minute. Remove them with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
• Continue until you're out of pierogi.
• Serve with melted butter or another topping of your choice.
• If you prefer a crispier skin, melt some butter on a frying pan. Fry dumplings on both sides until golden.

OLD FASHIONED SOUR CREAM KLUSKI DOUGH (NOODLES, DUMPLINGS, PIEROGI DOUGH)

Steps:

• In a medium sized mixing bowl, stir salt into the flour. Add butter, sour cream, and egg; mix to incorporate. Slowly add a little water at a time while mixing until dough comes together nicely. Turn dough out on floured surface. Knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill overnight or for at least 2 hours before rolling out. Kluski Dough 2 Roll the dough out on a floured surface; cut into strips. Separate strips and toss liberally with flour. Allow kluski to sit for at least 20 minutes before boiling, giving the dough time to rest. Kluski Dough 3 Take a few handful of noodles, shaking the excess flour off, toss into a pot of rapidly boiling salted water. Boil for about 10 minutes. Remove from water with slotted spoon to colander to rinse and drain. At this point I normally stir in a teaspoon of butter for flavor and so the noodles won't stick together. Continue until all of the noodles are cooked. Add more water to the pot in between batches and allow the water to return to boiling before adding the next batch of noodles. These noodles freeze fairly well. Toss liberally with flour. Evenly distribute noodles in one layer on a sheet pan. Place pan in freezer until noodles are frozen. Store in freezer bags until ready to use. This recipe is also the same recipe I use for pierogi and dumplings. This recipe does not keep well in the refrigerator for more than 24 hours.
