Perogies - Ukranian recipe
This recipe was given to my grandmother many, many years ago. I have worked the measurements for this -
Make filling:
Combine 1 c. grated cheese (Cheddar) with 1 qt. (4 c.) hot mashed potatoes; set aside.
Make dough:
Beat 1 large egg; add 1 c. water and 2 T. cooking oil (veggie oil); add roughly 3 c. flour and 1 t. salt; knead into a soft dough; turn bowl over to cover dough on board and let set for 10 minutes.
Roll on floured board, cut with 2 ½ - 3-inch biscuit cutter; re-roll scraps and continue.
Place 1 T. filling in center of each; fold over; crimp edges to seal (water may be necessary).
Drop into boiling water (bring water to a boil, add salt, wait for the water to return to a full boil and then drop in perogi). Cook until done - 7 - 10 minutes depending on size; drain; toss with oil and saute in fry pan or cool and refrigerate and fry later. (Yes, these can be made ahead.)
