Classic Polish Pierogi Dumplings

1. 1

   Prepare the filling: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions and mushrooms in the hot oil until soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

2. 2

   Pass the potatoes and farmer's cheese separately through a food grinder or food processor; place both in a large bowl. Add the onion-mushroom mixture, sour cream, salt, and pepper; mix until well combined and set the filling aside.

3. 3

   Make the dough: Place the flour on a clean work surface and form a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well. Add the butter and a few tablespoons of warm water. Mix with your hands, gradually adding more warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as you go. Knead until the dough is soft and smooth, adding more flour to the work surface as needed.

4. 4

   Roll out 1/4 of the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Use a glass or round cookie cutter to cut out circles, reserving any excess dough for the next batch. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over into a half-moon and pinch the edges together to seal. Cover the pierogi with a clean dish towel and repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

5. 5

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook the pierogi in batches, about 20 at a time, in the boiling water until they float to the surface, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a strainer to drain.
