Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat together eggs, water, and salt.
- Stir in enough flour to form a stiff dough and knead until smooth and elastic.
- Set dough aside for an hour and then knead again, using as little flour as needed.
- Divide dough into two portions and on a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Cut into 3-inch circles.
- Put a heaping teaspoonful of filling near the center of each circle.
- Moisten the edges of dough with a little water, fold dough over filling to make a half moon, pinch the edges together to secure, and set aside.
- Repeat with second portion of dough.
- Carefully slip pierogies, a few at a time, into a large kettle of gently boiling salted water.
- As they rise to the surface (after about 10 minutes), remove with a slotted spoon and drain thoroughly on a wire rack.
