Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix until a dough forms.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 6

    Assemble the Varenyky

    Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles. Place a spoonful of each filling in the center of the dough circles. Fold and seal tightly.

  2. 7

    Cook the Varenyky

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the varenyky in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
