You Will Need (7 things)

  • 1 x Egg(s)
  • ¾ cup Cottage Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 ¾ cup Plain Flour
  • 1 x Onion(s)
  • 3 x Baking Potatoes
  • Salt

Steps (9 steps, 0 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cook potatoes in boiling water.

  2. 2

    Chop up the onion in to small slices. Place the butter in a frying pan and set at a medium heat. Fry the onions until they turn golden and yummy looking remove them from the heat.

  3. 3

    Mash up the potatoes in a bowl and add the onions.

  4. 4

    Add the cottage cheese. Mix together well. This is our pierogi filling. Add a few spices or some salt to flavour.

  5. 5

    Heap the flour together on a surface and create a well in the middle. Beat an egg and pour in to the middle of the well.

  6. 6

    Knead together with warm water until it forms a thick dough. This can be a bit oogie and messy.

  7. 7

    Roll the dough out thin and use a cookie cutter to cut out a shape. Place some filling on one side of the dough shape.

  8. 8

    Fold the dough over and press together. Use a fork to score around the edges. Make as many as you want to eat.

  9. 9

    Place a small batch in to a pan of boiling water and cover. When the pierogi start to float uncover them and cook on a high heat for 2 minutes and then drain. They taste delicious with sour cream. Enjoy.
