the recipe is from Anna's Kitchen.
This is it: Filling: 1.4kg bolied potaotes.
Mash them up with 5-6 tablespoons of pureed cottage cheese.
In a pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter then fry 1 very finely chopped medium onion until it is starting to turn golden.
Add the potatoes to the pan and cook (stirring constantly ) over a medium heat until the potatoes are thick. Leave to chill for an hour or two.
Pastry: The recipe is for 40-50 pierogi with three fillings. As I only made one filling I only made a third of this amount but this is the recipe as listed. 400g flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 225g butter (cubed) 225g cream cheese (cubed ish) Process briefly until texture is even.
Add 60ml chilled double cream (I used soured cream because I had some left over) and process again until he pastry forms a ball. Chill for at least 30mins.
Roll out pastry, cut into circle, put blob of mash in middle and fold over. pierce hole in the top and spread with egg wash (yolk and water)
arrange on a buttered baking sheet and bake at 190C for 15-20 mins until the are golden brown. But like I said next time I'm going to try frying or steaming.
