Why I Love This Recipe
My paternal grandmother was Ukrainian and (sort of) handed this recipe down. She never measured anything, so the quantities took some trial and error. The attached recipe will make about 8 or 9 dozen pierogi, so plan to spend several hours on it.

Pierogi
Roll out tube of dough, cut into small pieces. Roll out into circle, add about 1-.5 T of stuffing. Fold over and pinch closed. Do not let stuffing on edges of dough or it won’t seal. Bring large pot of water to boil and boil 5-8 at a time (do not over crowd), until they float on the top for about a minute. Remove. Eat or sauté w/ melted butter and onion, served with sour cream.
The dough can be used for other fillings such as meat, cheese or mushrooms.
