Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg large, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup water lukewarm
- 1/2 cup potato filling prepared
- 1/2 cup cheese filling prepared
- 2 tbsp butter for serving
- 1/2 cup sour cream for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
- Add the beaten egg and mix well.
- Gradually add the lukewarm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into two parts. Roll out one part to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles from the dough.
- Place a small spoonful of filling (either potato or cheese) in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the pierogi, a few at a time, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top.
- Remove the pierogi with a slotted spoon and drain well.
- Serve the pierogi hot, topped with melted butter and a side of sour cream.

Not sure if these are legit. My grandma’s recipe is way different. She doesn’t use butter for serving!
I don’t think this is how real pierogi are made. You missed important steps for crispiness.
hmm think i made them wrong. they came out too thick. also, wat if I have no sour cream?
Thick pierogi? Sounds like more filling to me! 😁 But seriously, try some mayo or just eat them plain if you don’t have sour cream.
Don’t worry too much about the thickness! If they come out thick, maybe try rolling the dough thinner next time. And if you don’t have sour cream, you can use yogurt or even cream cheese as a dip. It’ll still taste good!
These pierogis are fantastic! I never knew they were this easy to make. My family loved them!
I messed up the dough and it was too sticky. Anyone got tips for that?
Easy peasy and fun! I love pierogi!
Totally agree! Pierogi are the best! Can’t wait to try this recipe!
This took forever!! Cooking them individually was such a hassle. 🙄
Very easy recipe, I was able to whip this up in no time. My kids love helping with rolling the dough!
These were good but kinda bland for my taste. I added garlic and it improved a lot!
YUM! So good. I used cheddar instead of regular cheese filling, and it was way better. 😋
