UNCLE BILL'S PEROGIE DOUGH
I have provided a very detailed method for making perogies, please read carefully and follow the instructions. Practice a bit if necessary to make sure that the dough comes out properly. I developed this dough recipe about 25 years ago and it has withstood the criticism of many especially the Ukrainian people. Surprisingly, they say this is the best dough for perogies that they have ever had, nice and tender and is not chewy like most.

Steps:
- In a large size mixing bowl, mix together eggs, milk, whipping cream, sour cream and salt and whisk until well blended.
- Add baking powder and blend until incorporated.
- Add flour one cup at a time and whisk well the first two cups.
- Add the third cup and now mix using a large plastic spoon or a wooden spoon.
- Add the fourth cup and continue mixing with a spoon.
- At this point, you may not be able to pick up all the flour, so roll out the contents onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and shiny.
- If the dough is still sticky add a bit more flour and continue to knead until it is not sticky and does not stick to your hands.
- Break dough off into chunks and roll between your hands to the size of a golf ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, firstly flatten the dough ball with the palm of your hand to about 1/2-inch thickness, then coat each side very lightly with some flour.
- Using a heavy rolling pin, (I prefer a marble rolling pin), start to roll out the dough.
- As you are rolling, the dough should stick to the rolling pin.
- When this happens and the dough is almost all the way around the rolling pin, peel the dough off as it should come off very easy.
- Place the dough back on the rolling surface with the side that was against the rolling pin should now be on the rolling surface.
- Very lightly, dust the top surface ONLY with a bit of flour.
- Start rolling again, roll back and forth, then side to side to try and keep the dough round.
- The dough should now be sticking to the rolling surface and not onto the rolling pin.
- You will note that the dough does not "snap" back to a smaller round.
- Should this happen, just re-roll again.
- When finished rolling, the dough should be about 1/16-inch in thickness.
- Open the Mini Form (photo above) and rub the surface with some flour, this will prevent the dough from sticking to the Mini Form.
- Place the rolled dough over the Mini Form and make sure that the dough is well over the edges of the Mini Form.
- Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of your choice of filling in the center of the dough.
- Pick the Mini Form up and close it slightly.
- If necessary, push the filling down just a bit.
- Now fold the Mini Form completely shut and press tightly.
- Hold the Mini Form closed and remove excess dough with your thumb or finger. This helps seal the edges of the dough.
- Use the excess dough to form more dough balls.
- Open the Mini Form and the perogi should drop out easily.
- Set perogi aside until you prepare more.
- Continue to make perogies with the remaining dough.
- You can use whatever size of Mini Form that you desire, the 3 1/4" or 4". Five and 6" Mini Forms are also available.
- COOKING INSTRUCTIONS.
- In a large cooking pot or pasta pot, fill 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil.
- Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil or a good vegetable oil.
- Gently add about 8 to 10 perogies to the pot, stir gently with a slotted spoon and bring back to boil.
- Cook, uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes or until perogies float to the surface.
- Remove with a slotted spoon into a bowl.
- The perogies may be eaten immediately with some butter or margarine, a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of chopped green onions or chives.
- The amount of perogies may vary depending on the size of Mini Form you are using.
- If desired, preheat a frying pan to medium-high heat, add 3 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil or vegetable oil.
- Add some finely chopped onions to the frying pan and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Now add the perogies, cover and lightly fry until they are lightly browned on both sides, turning once.
- Serve immediately with more butter if desired, a dollop of sour cream, chopped green onions or chives and even some cooked chopped bacon bits.
- These perogies freeze well.
- After the perogies are boiled, place them on a cookie sheet (absorb any water with paper towels).
- Place sheet in freezer for at least 2 hours until perogies are frozen.
- Place them into freezer bags or vacuum seal bags in whatever quantities are best for you and return the sealed units back to the freezer.
- The perogies will last from 6 months to 1 year when frozen.

UNCLE BILL'S COTTAGE CHEESE PEROGIE FILLING

PIEROGI RUSKIE (POTATO AND CHEESE PIEROGI)
Pierogi are always on the menu at milk bars, historic Polish restaurants that were once socialist canteens. This recipe for pierogi ruskie, stuffed with potatoes and cheese, comes from the Bar Prasowy, which is one of the most famous milk bars in Warsaw, and a place where fist-size dumplings can be filled with mushrooms and meat, spinach and cheese, or any number of combinations. These pierogi can be made from kitchen staples, though you'd be doing yourself a favor if you sought out the salty quark cheese that would be used in Poland. Be patient with your first few pierogi: Sealing the filling inside the dumpling takes some practice, but the practice itself is enjoyable. You can snack on the pierogi straight after boiling, or pan-fry them with butter until crisp and serve with barszcz, a light Polish borscht.

Steps:
- Prepare the dough: Add the flour and salt to a large bowl; whisk to combine. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup water and the butter over medium-high until butter is melted, about 3 minutes. Pour the buttery liquid into the flour gradually, stirring it in as you add it. (The dough will be quite crumbly and flaky at this point, like a biscuit dough.) Stir in the egg until combined then move the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. Cover the dough with a dampened towel or plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Add them to a large pot, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high and continue to cook at a simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, prepare the onions: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high. Add the onions, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and softened, about 12 minutes. Set aside about 1 cup of onions for garnish and add the rest to a medium bowl.
- Transfer the cooked potatoes to a colander to drain, then transfer to the medium bowl with the onions. Add the cheese, stir to combine, season generously with salt and pepper, then let cool.
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high.
- Prepare the wrappers: Cut the dough into two even pieces. (You'll want to leave one piece under the towel to stay moist while you work with the other piece.) You'll also want a small bowl of flour, a small bowl of water and a towel handy for keeping your hands clean. Dust some flour onto a baking sheet (for holding the pierogi) and your work surface, then roll out one portion of dough until 1/8-inch thick. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter or inverted glass, punch 12 to 15 disks of dough. (Save and refrigerate the scraps to boil as a rustic pasta, in soup or another use.)
- Assemble the pierogi: Working with one disk at time, spoon a scant tablespoon of filling onto the middle of it. Fold the dough in half to enclose the filling, bringing the edges together to form a crescent shape. Pinch the two sides together at the top, then work your way down on both sides, pinching the dough over the filling and pushing in the filling as needed, making sure the potato mixture does not break the seal. If needed, you can dip your fingertip into water and moisten the dough in spots as needed to help the two sides adhere together.
- To form a rustic pattern on the curved seal, pinch the rounded rim underneath using your pointer finger and middle finger and press an indentation on top with your thumb, working your way along the rounded rim. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. (If you've gotten some filling on your fingers, dip your fingertips into the bowl of water then dry them off on the towel.)
- Repeat with remaining disks, then repeat the entire process with the remaining portion of dough. You'll want to work fairly quickly, as the pierogi can be harder to seal if they start to dry out. (If cooking the pierogi at a later point, transfer them on the baking sheet to the freezer until frozen solid, then transfer the pierogi to a resealable bag and freeze.)
- To cook the pierogi, add a single layer of pierogi to the pot of boiling water. Let them cook until they rise to the surface, about 2 minutes, then cook another 2 to 3 minutes until puffy. (With frozen dumplings, you will need to increase the cooking time by a couple of minutes.) Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked dumplings to a colander to drain, then boil remaining dumplings.
- If you want to pan-fry your pierogi, working in batches, melt 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high until crackling. Add a few boiled pierogi in a single layer to avoid overcrowding, and cook until crisp and golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining pierogi, adding butter as needed.
- Serve hot. Top with any browned butter from the pan, warmed reserved onions, sour cream and herbs.
PEROGIES WITH VARIOUS TRADITIONAL FILLINGS
What can I say, I love these little babies and they love me back, so I only do this twice a year and "ration" them out! I make double to triple the amounts and freeze for later use. To serve boil, drain and then fry in butter with a lot of onions and serve with a dollop of sour cream!

Steps:
- Cottage Cheese Filling: Combine the cottage cheese with the egg and season to taste with the salt.
- If the cheese is very dry, an additional egg (or egg yolk) or thick sour cream can be added.
- Mix the flour with the salt in a deep bowl.
- Add the egg, oil and water to make a medium soft dough.
- Knead on a floured board until the dough is smooth.
- Caution: Too much kneading will toughen the dough.
- Divide the dough into 2 parts.
- Cover and let stand for at least 10 minutes.
- Prepare the filling.
- The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape.
- Roll the dough quite thin on a floured board.
- Cut rounds with a large biscuit cutter, or as most old-world grandmothers did, with the open end of a glass.
- Put the round in the palm ofyour hand.
- Place a spoonful of filling in it, fold over to form a half circle and press the edges together with the fingers.
- The edges should be free of filling.
- Be sure the edges are sealed well to prevent the filling from running out.
- Place the pierogi on a floured board or tea towel and then cover with another tea towel to prevent them from drying out.
- COOKING: Drop a few pierogies into a large quantity of rapidly boiling salted water.
- Do not attempt to cook too many at a time.
- Stir VERY gently with a wooden spoon to separate them and to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Continue boiling for 3-4 minutes.
- The cooling period will depend upon the size you made it, the thickness of the dough and the filling.
- Pierogies will be ready when they are puffed.
- Remove them with a perforated spoon or skimmer to a colander and drain thoroughly.
- Place in a deep dish, sprinkle generously with melted butter to prevent them from sticking.
- Cover and keep them hot until all are cooked.
- Serve in a large dish without piling or crowding them.
- Top with melted butter- chopped crisp bacon and/or chopped onions lightly browned in butter.
- REHEATING: One of the great things about pierogies, is that they can be made in large quantities, refrigerated, frozen and reheated without loss of quality.
- Many prefer reheated pierogies as compared to freshly boiled ones.
- To re-heat, you can 1) pan fry pierogies in butter or bacon fat until they are light in color or 2) heat the pierogies in the top of a double boiler or in the oven until they are hot and plump or 3) deep fry them.
