Crab Pierogies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Dough
    2 large eggs
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning (add more or less to your liking)
    2 cups flour
    2 ounces cream cheese (or sour cream(but we prefer cream cheese)
    water (teaspoons at a time)
    Filling
    about 1 1/2 cups of leftover homemade mashed potatoes
    1 cup crab claw meat
    1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
    lemon dill seasoning or a citrus seasoning
    Fry with
    butter
    sauteed onion
Preparation
    In a food processor pulse flour and salt.
    Add eggs and cream cheese process for about 15-20 seconds.
    Slowly add water until dough forms a ball. Add more flour if dough is too sticky
    Let dough rest 20-25 minutes
    (Start boiling large pot of water with salt and a little bit of olive oil).
    Roll out half the dough (roll VERY thin).
    Use a large rimmed glass (like a martini glass) or round cookie cuter to cut out 4-5 inch circles.
    Fill each circle with 1 to 2 Tablespoons of filling
    Fold over ensuring that there is no air inside and edges are sealed. (I pinch edges together and then use a fork to seal each pierogie).
    Cook about 8-10 at a time in the boiling water. Once they rise to the top of the water (approx 3-5 mins) remove with slotted spoon and top with butter/sauteed onions.
    I like to sautee onions and then carefully toss the boiled pierogies into the pan to get them crispy. MMmm! Enjoy!
