Best 8 Sour Cream Dough For Pierogi Recipes

PIEROGI DOUGH WITH SOUR CREAM (2-INGREDIENT)

Steps:

• Tip four cups of flour onto your work surface, make a shallow well.
• Add sour cream in. Mix until combined - with your hands or with an electric mixer.
• If the dough feels too sticky to handle, add more flour.
• Dust both hands with flour and start kneading to form the dough.
• Cover the dough with a cloth or a large bowl. Set aside for 20-30 minutes. You can let the dough rest longer, even up to a few hours.
• Dust the worktop with some extra flour and transfer the dough onto it. Knead the dough for a minute or two. Cut a smaller piece of the dough off and roll it out - the thinner, the better.
• Cut out the circles - I use a rim of a glass, but a round cookie cutter works too. The size is up to you, but roughly 3 inches (8 cm) seems optimal.
• Scoop 1 tablespoon of pierogi filling of your choice and place it in the center of each circle.
• Press the edges and seal each dumpling.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Drop in pierogi in small batches, a few at the time. Wait for them to float, once they do - continue cooking for another minute. Remove them with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
• Continue until you're out of pierogi.
• Serve with melted butter or another topping of your choice.
• If you prefer a crispier skin, melt some butter on a frying pan. Fry dumplings on both sides until golden.

PIEROGI HOMEMADE WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• or the dough ~ Potato and Cheese Pierogi IngredientsIn a large bowl or mixer, combine the flour, eggs, sour cream and 1/2 cup of water. Beat the eggs as you mix and gradually add the rest of the water until the mixture is combined. Turn the dough onto a well floured surface. Knead it gently, using a dropping technique (lift the dough from the surface and drop it down). Knead only until the ingredients are blended and the dough is smooth and slightly sticky, about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to over work the dough. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 20 to 30 minutes while you prepare the filling. For the filling ~ Put the potatoes in a medium pot and add just enough cold, salted water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. While the potatoes cook, melt the butter and oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the onion, garlic and thyme, cooking until the onion turns translucent, about 2 minutes. Lower the heat and continue cooking until onions caramelize slightly, about 20 minutes. You may need to add a bit more butter as the onion and garlic mixture cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside to cool. When the potatoes are soft, drain them in a colander and lightly press out the remaining moisture. Return them to the pot, remove from heat and add the cooled onion mixture and the cheese. Mash them just until blended and large lumps are gone. Season again with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool while you roll out the pierogi dough. Assemble and cook ~ Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. With lightly floured hands, pinch off tablespoon sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. The balls should be about 1-1/2 inches in diameter, yielding about 3 dozen total. On a well floured surface, gently roll each ball with a rolling pin until about 1/8 inch thick and 3-1/2 inches round. Cover the finished rounds with a damp towel so they don't dry out while you're working. Once your rounds are rolled out, hold each in the palm of your hand, filling the center of it with a generous tablespoon of the potato mixture. Gently fold the round in half, pulling the edges away and pinching them firmly shut to enclose the filling. Be sure the edges are sealed by working from one end to the other. As you work, set your filled pierogi aside on a floured surface and cover them with plastic wrap. Working in batches, drop no more than 6 pierogi at a time into the boiling water. After they float back to the surface, allow them to cook another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the pierogi with a slotted spoon and place on a towel to drain and cool. Sauté and serve ~ To finish the dish, heat a tablespoon or two of butter in a pan over medium heat and briefly sauté them in batches until they are slightly crispy and brown on the exterior. Transfer to a serving dish and top with Sour Cream Garlic-Chive Sauce.

TRADITIONAL PIEROGI DOUGH

Steps:

• I use a stand mixer with the flat beater to mix the ingredients. After about a minute, replace the flat beater with the spiral hook and knead the dough until it is firm and consistent. Rest the dough for 30 minutes with damp cloth over bowl.
• To stuff pierogi:.
• * Before stuffing the pierogi, put a BIG pot of salted water on the stove to boil.
• Roll out some dough on floured surface until about 1/16� - 1/8" thick.
• Cut out circles.
• Put a heaping teaspoon of your filling into the middle of your dough circle.
• Dip your finger into a cup of water and moisten half the edge of the circle. Then bring up lower half of circle to meet moistened half and seal together with your fingers. If you find your fingers sticking to the dough while doing this, dip them into a handy cup of flour.
• Then pinch the edges together. Be very careful not to puncture the dough.
• Lay the completed pierogi on a floured surface. Repeat process with all your dough circles.
• Don't have the water boiling too vigorously while cooking the pierogi.
• GENTLY slide the pierogi into the water. Boil until all of the pierogi rise to the top - about 7 minutes.
• Take out the pierogi and let dry.
• Note: the pierogi do freeze well.

BASIC PIEROGI

Steps:

• Make the dough: Whisk together egg and sour cream. Whisk in milk and water. Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time.
• Turn out dough onto a floured surface. (Dough will be loose and sticky.) Using a bench scraper, turn and fold dough to knead, dusting with flour as needed, until elastic and no longer sticky, 8 to 10 minutes. (Dough will come together as you knead it. Be careful not to add too much flour, since it will toughen the dough.) Cover with an inverted bowl; let rest for 1 hour.
• Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a clean linen towel, and dust generouslywith cornmeal to prevent sticking.
• Roll out 1 piece of dough on a lightly floured surface into a 1/8-inch-thick round (keep other pieces covered).
• Cut out circles very close together, using a 3-inch cutter or glass (5 inches for the plum version). Cover with plasticwrap to prevent dough from drying. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Fill pierogi: Place filling in center of each dough circle. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Holding 1 circle in your hand, fold dough over filling. Pinch edges, forming a well-sealed crescent.
• Transfer to cornmeal-dusted towel, and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough circles and filling. Working in batches, transfer pierogi to boiling water. They will sink to the bottom and then rise. Once they have risen, cook through, about 2 minutes more (or up to 4 minutes for plum pierogi, depending on ripeness). For savory pierogi, coat a platter with half the butter. Transfer pierogi to platter using a slotted spoon. Drizzle tops with remaining butter, and season with salt. For sweet pierogi, transfer to a platter using a slotted spoon, and dot with sour cream.
