Homemade Polish Pierogies Recipe (Freezer Friendly)
This Polish pierogies recipe came from a grandma my sister-in-law took care of. These are authentic as can be coming from a Polish lady herself! Fill them with mashed potatoes or sour kraut!
Ingredients
Dough:
- 4 cups flour
- 2 eggs
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 stick, softened
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm milk
Filling:
- 2 cups braised cabbage or mashed potatoes
Instructions
How to make Polish Pierogies:
- Stir the flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter until mixture looks crumbly. Add in the eggs then milk and stir with a wooden spoon until mixture holds together.
- Lightly knead in the bowl to smooth out any rough looking parts. Set aside.
- Roll dough out to 1/8"thickness (you may need to divide the dough in half and roll dough out at a time if your working area is small.)
- Cut out circles using a cup 3" in diameter.
- Place about a heaping teaspoon of filling in the centers and seal pierogies. Transfer to a floured tray and continue to work on the dough rolling out the scraps. (Tip: use a flat utensil like the end of a skewer to get deep looking seals.)
- Freeze or boil in water for 3 minutes.
- To cook frozen: Boil in water for 3-4 minutes then sauté in butter until nicely seared (about 2-3 minutes.)
