Servings: 12 Servings
Calories: 101kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g all purpose flour (sifted)
- 1/2 teaspoons salt (optional)
- 80 grams butter (unsalted)
- 250-280 ml hot water
Instructions
- If using a food processor there is no need to sift the flour, just aerate it. If using mixer or your hands sift flour into a large bowl or board. I prefer to work on my wood board. Add butter and salt to the sifted flour and mix. Pour water slowly a little at a time and knead the dough for a while. Knead the dough preferably by hand. The dough should be soft, elastic and flexible. Wrap the ball of dough in foil, plastic bag or cover with a cotton cloth and set aside to rest until cooled.
- After cooled remove the dough from foil, plastic bag or cotton cloth and divide it into 3 parts. Set the other pieces aside and cover with plastic or a cotton cloth so that the dough does not dry. Roll out one piece thinly on the board. Cut circles. Stretch each piece with your hands. Apply the stuffing on the dough in the middle. Fold the pierogi in half and press the sides firmly together. Place the pierogi side by side on the board or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You may freeze the pierogi for later use or cover the pierogi with a cloth while waiting to be cooked.Place each series in a pot with salted, boiling water. Take pierogi out 1-2 minutes after they surface. Makes about 50 - 60 pierogi. Enjoy!
