Ingredients

2 1/2 cups dry cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup water
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup cubed ham
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 cups warm milk

Steps:

In a blender, combine cottage cheese, 2 eggs and ground black pepper to taste. Cover and blend until smooth, or beat with an electric mixer until smooth; Set aside. In a large bowl, stir together flour, milk powder, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a small bowl, beat together 2 eggs, water and oil; combine with flour mixture. On a floured surface, knead dough about 10 times or until smooth. Divide dough in half and roll out each portion to a 1/8 inch thickness. Using a 4 inch round cutter, cut out rounds of dough. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Moisten the edge and fold over to form a half moon shape; pinch to seal. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add half of the dumplings and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender; remove with a slotted spoon and drain. Repeat with remaining dumplings. While the dumplings are cooking, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in ham, and cook until ham is light brown. Add 3 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir. Pour in milk all at once, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Serve over the dumplings.

The verenikas were a bit too salty for my taste, but overall they were still good.

These verenikas were delicious! The dough was light and fluffy, and the filling was savory and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves Ukrainian cuisine.

I was really excited to try this verenika recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The dough was too sticky and the filling was bland. I think I'll stick to my old verenika recipe.
