Dough Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the egg, sour cream, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a separate bowl, mix together the farmer's cheese (or ricotta), sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon zest until well combined.

  3. 3

    Roll out the Dough

    After the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cutter or glass to cut out circles.

  4. 4

    Fill the Pierogi

    Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over and press the edges to seal. Crimp with a fork for extra security.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pierogi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pierogi in batches until they float to the top, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Topping

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add sugar and cinnamon, stirring until combined. Add the cooked pierogi and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until golden.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve warm, drizzled with the butter-sugar mixture.
