Grandma has been making this recipe for us since we were kids. It's the most, most delicious, most wonderful recipe on the planet.
•
The Dough
•
2½ cups of flour (could be as much as 3 cups)
•
1 tsp salt
•
1 egg
•
2 tbs. sour cream (preferably regular)
•
~½ cup lukewarm water
•
Mix all ingredients together, and knead just a bit. The dough should not be very smooth, and it should be quite sticky. Let stand covered with an inverted bowl for ~1/2 h before using. Take either all, or a portion of the dough, and roll it out until
•
The Fillings
•
Although not necessary, it is a good idea to make the fillings the day before you make the pierogi and refrigerate it. This is a big cooking job. Breaking it into two days helps.
