Preparation

note***The dough recipe is for around 50 perogies.
At least 1 batch for each filling.
I make a day of this and triple each recipe.
Believe me, they don't last long!
For the dough: Mix egg, oil and water.
Add to flour and salt and knead to elastic.
Flour your counter top and rolling pin.
Roll the dough to around 1/4 inch thick and cut into small circles.
Stretch with fingers and add 1 t. filling, fold over and flute.
Boil until perogies float.
Cool before freezing.
Cottage cheese and Dill filling: In a large bowl mix all ingredients together well and fill perogies.
Sauerkraut and Bacon: In a large bowl mix together all ingredients well. Bacon fat will cling to the kraut. Fill perogie dough.
Potato and Cheese: In a large bowl mix well the potato, cheese, salt and mix well. Fill Perogie dough.
You will need about 1 and 1/2 recipes for the dough for each batch of filling, depending on how thick or thin you roll your dough.
