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

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm milk

    --- How to make Polish Pierogies: ---

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Lightly knead in the bowl to smooth out any rough looking parts. Set aside.

  4. 4

    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.)

  5. 5

    Cut out circles using a cup 3" in diameter.

  6. 6

    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.)

  7. 7

    Freeze or boil in water for 3 minutes.

  8. 8

    To cook frozen: Boil in water for 3-4 minutes then sauté in butter until nicely seared (about 2-3 minutes.)
