How To Make homemade pierogies

Step 1

Beat eggs with lukewarm water to which butter has been added. Stir slowly into flour in bowl, adding only enough water to hold dough together.

Step 2

Knead on floured board for about 10 minutes. Put back in bowl, cover with cloth and let rest for about one half hour.
Step 3

Roll out dough to pie crust thickness, cut into 3 inch circles and fill with a heaping spoonful of cheese and mashed potatoes for half and sauerkraut for the other half.
Step 4

Drop in boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes.
Step 5

Pan fry with butter and onion as desired.
