Perogies

By Dianne_H

Great recipe as written but filling pockets with fresh summer fruit like blueberries, apricots, peaches, plums and cherries was a family favourite when I was a child. I liked them boiled then fried until golden and sprinkled with sugar but Mom and Dad liked theirs with sour cream and sugar.

Ingredients

• DOUGH:
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 cups flour
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• FILLING:
• 2 cups boiled potatoes
• 3/4 container cottage cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Place the egg in a measuring cup. Add enough oil to measure 1/2 cup. Add the water, flour, salt and baking powder. Let dough stand a while covered before mixing. When dough is formed, roll out flat to 1/8" thickness and cut out cirlces with a glass. Roll circles out thinner and and spoon filling into the center. Pinch the edges of the pyrogies shut. Freeze on a cookie sheet and put in baggies for the freezer.
