Pierogi I
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, carton sour cream, and salt. Stir in the flour and warm water. Add water until the dough feels like velvet. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board, and knead until smooth. Roll it out to a 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out 3 1/2 inch circles using the top of a glass or a biscuit cutter. Cover with waxed paper to keep from drying out if not filling right away.

  2. 2

    Place 1 or 2 tablespoons of filling on one side of a dough circle. Fold over, and seal by pressing the edges with a fork. Repeat until all ingredients are used.

  3. 3

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pierogi. Cook until the dumplings rise to the surface. (See Cook's Note for tips on freezing extra pierogies.)
