Tofu Pierogies - Vegan - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    dough
    4 cups flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    1 1/4 cups warm water
    filling
    16 ounces firm tofu, drained, pressed, crumbled
    sugar
    1 pinch salt
    oil (for frying) or margarine (for frying)
Preparation
    In a food processor add all dry ingredient and pulse.
    slowly add all liquids while pulsing for 1 minute.
    Dump dough out onto clean surface and knead for 5 minutes.
    Wrap dough in saran wrap and chill for 2 hours.
    In a bowl crumble tofu add pinch of salt & sugar till desired sweetness (I like them pretty sweet).
    roll out dough into 1/8 inch thick sheets, a pasta roller comes in handy for this.
    I use a pint glass to cut out circles but I think it's about 4 inch diameter.
    Place 1 tablespoon filling in center of circle.
    wet edges with water and pinch together forming a half circle.
    In a large pot gently slide them into boiling water for 5 min or until they float.
    you can eat them right after boiling or saute till crispy in oil or margarine, which is the way we like them.
