Let's say it together PEROGIES!!

 Presenting my pics of perogies.  Just sharing what I made....... a couple of years ago. LOL  I'm that behind with my pics. 😄😛

 Alright I didn't take pics of every stage of prep but you get the picture. 

 

 This is a bowl is of some dough I made for the perogies. For the most part I followed the recipe but at the time since I had some whole wheat available, I put in some of that.  After I kneaded the dough together, I portioned the dough into neat little balls for several batches of perogie skins. 

 

 

 

 I took a ball of dough and rolled it out on the board. I rolled it out to a certain thickness and then cut out skins. I used a drinking cup that was the perfect size for the skins. 

 

 

 Here's some filling I made. Not nearly as full to the top of the bowl as earlier pics since I didn't take pics when I first started making them in this session. It was filled to the brim with filling. To be exact 3 days worth of making the dumplings. 🤪 It consisted of bacon fat, some "farmer's cheese ( actually it was cottage cheese just blended to be smooth) or I could have used ricotta. There was also a bit of cheddar cheese and I think I had 3 large russet potatoes. That is if I remember correctly.  There might have been a few other ingredients but it has been a few years.

 

 

 Filling the perogie skins. I used about a table spoon full of the filling. 

 

 

 Folding over the perogie skins with filling. Then I carefully shaped them closed and crimping the edges closed. I also used water to glue them shut. Before I closed them of course. 

 

 

 Then I carefully dropped each one in boiling water, cooking them until they rose to the surface. 

 

 

 I then placed them on every dry surface I could find and let them dry a bit. 

 

 

 I placed them on a tray before I place some of them in the freezer. I did this so they won't stick together in the storage bag that goes back into a freezer. 

 

 

 Sorry I didn't bother to make a pic of a finished dish on plate. But then everyone has a favorite way of having them for dinner. For the most part we like to have them smothered in sauteed onions, bacon and topped off with some sour cream. But I have eaten them with chill, cheese, tomatoes and sour cream.

Now go and make your own. If you don't have a favorite recipe, there are plenty online for you to try. Or just buy some frozen ones from a factory. I won't tell. 😋🙊😊

Enjoy!
