Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 Eggs 2 c Flour
1/2 c Water 1/2 ts Salt

Mound flour on kneading board and make hole in center. Drop eggs into hole
and cut into flour with a knife. Add salt and water and knead until firm.
Let rest for 10 minutes covered with a warm bowl. Divide dough in halves
and roll thin. Cut circles with a large biscuit cutter. Place a small mound
of filling a little to one side on each round of dough. Moisten edge with a
little water, fold over and press edges firmly together. Be sure they are
well sealed to prevent the filling from running out. Drop the pierogi into
salted boiling water. Cook gently for for 3 to 5 minutes. Lift out of water
carefully with a perforated spoon.

The dough has a tendency to dry while you are working. A dry dough will not
seal completely. We suggest rolling out a large circle of dough, placing
small mounds of filling far enough apart to allow for cutting, and folding
the dough over the mounds of filling. Then cut with a small biscuit cutter
and seal firmly.

Never crowd or pile pierogi. The uncooked will stick and the cooked will
lose shape and lightness.

Note: Pierogi can be frozen after boiling and they keep well. I perfer all
my pierogi fried in butter and onions and seasoned with salt and pepper.
They should be fried on a medium low heat till golden brown.
