Make a basic dough, make a bowl of your filling of choice, cut circles from dough and fill them pinching the sides in the appropriate pierog shape. Boil them and serve.

Also if you say "pierogis" you're making a word plural that is already made plural and should kys.

I prefer chef Johns shortcut pierogis. Authentic ones are nice but take more time than I am willing to commit to comfort food. Less time making dough, more time making fun fillings. Right now I am imagining a spicy italian sausage, ricotta, and spinach pierogi with sour cream, dill and chives.

If you stray from either potato and cheese, meat, cabbage, or fruit fillings you're just making dumplings not pierogi.

here's my family potato cheese pierogi recipe I promise it's awesome. grandma calls for a specific cheese, pic related.

4C Flour
3 eggs
1 Pint Sour Cream
salt
2 whole rounds of Colby Long Horn
1/2 - 3/4 of a 5lb bag of potatoes
>Peel, cube and boil potatoes until tender
>Shred cheese and set aside
>Drain and mash potatoes in pot with the cheese (put cheese in and cover with lid for a little bit until cheese starts to melt. Makes it easier to blend)
>Spoon potato/cheese mixture onto a cookie sheet to cool completely
>Beat eggs and sour cream together in large bowl
>Add flour slowly and mix until a soft dough forms.
>Chill dough about 15 min.
>Roll out (not too thin, I'd say 1/8th inch. I usually go by feel of the board under the dough) and cut with round cutter
>Scoop potato into small ball and place in center
>Pinch edges together and seal with fork tines

oh duh, forgot how to cook them.
>you can freeze at this stage, or cook fresh
>either fresh or frozen, put them in boiling water until they float and then a minute more.
>usually just a few minutes if fresh, 5-7 mins or so if frozen.

you can also pan fry them if you want but that's not my family's way.
serve w/ toppings of sour cream, carmelized onions, and applesauce

Dough:
>500 g flour
>about 0.5 cup hot water
>1 tbsp salt
Mix and knead until elastic but not sticky. Put on a board and cover with a bowl, let it cool.
Filling:
>250g potato
>250g farmers cheese (I don't think cream cheese is sour enough but you could probably experiment with substitutes)
>1 large onion
>salt, pepper, vegetable oil or lard
Boil potatoes and mash them, add cheese and mix. Finely chop onion and fry on a tsp of oil or lard. Add into the mix, season with salt and pepper.
Or:
>100g dried wild mushrooms
>400g sauerkraut
>1 onion
Soak and boil mushrooms. In a separate pot, boil cabbage(you can add allspice and bay leafs just remember to take it out later) until soft (30 min or so). Fry onion on vegetable oil. Finely chop mushrooms and cabbage, my mum puts it through a meat machine but I don't have one so chopping it is. Mix it all, season with salt and pepper.
Or: ground pork with fried onion and your favourite spices.
Or:
>100g buckwheat groats
>250g farmers cheese
>1tsp chopped fresh mint
>1 onion (obviously)
>Some bacon if you feel like it
Boil groats as normally. Fry onion. Dice bacon into small cubes and fry it, add chopped onion to the bacon grease and continue cooking. Or just fry the onion on vegetable oil if not using bacon. Mix all ingredients, add salt if needed and pepper.

You roll the dough very thin, cut circles, put the filling in. Boil a large pot of salted water, put the pierogi in and let them cook about 1-2min after they start to float.
Fuck you anon now I want to eat pierogi but instead I'm making hummus like a soyboy. After Easter I gotta make some.

pierogi are a type of dumpling. if you're not making dumplings that can be classed as pierogi, you're just making dumplings of an unspecified other type.

This. When stuffing the filing into the pieróg i usually pinch about half of it closed and then fill. After that I use a fork to make a nice pattern and close it better.

Generally baked pierogi are more appealing too, they get a nice golden brown color
