Polish dumplings


It is a recipe of traditional Polish dumplings.

There are some pictures of how to make dumplings. And then a written recipe.



 Dough:
-6 cups flour
-6 eggs
-4/3 cup lukewarm water (or equivalent amount of sour cream for different dough texture)
-1 teaspoon salt 




Dough:
-Mix flour+eggs+water+salt together, and work the dough. You want the dough to be slightly sticky, but not significantly so
-After dough has been made, I usually break into thirds and wrap in plastic wrap and put in fridge while I work with 1/3 of dough
-Roll dough till maybe an 1/8 of inch thick, and cut circles (I usually do about 3 inch in diameter)
Pierogi: -Prepare large pot of boiling water
-Take each circle and fill with about a tablespoon of filling. Lightly wet the edge of the dough to seal the dumpling
-Put 4 or 5 completed pierogi into the water, and let them sit until they float to top
-Remove them, and let sit on plate to dry slightly
At this point, you're done. You can feel free to eat them as is, freeze them for later, or fry them up alongside some bacon & onions.
