Filling:
2 c. blueberries
1 t. sugar (or to taste)
1 - 2 lb. twaróg or other soft white cheese such as farmer’s cheese
Dough:
1 3/4 c. flour
1 egg
1/2 c. water
1 T. soft butter
To serve:
melted butter
sugar
(optional) whipped cream
Mix fillings ingredients and set aside.
Place flour on a wooden board or in a bowl, and pour on the hot water.
Mix with a spoon until a soft mass starts to form, then add butter and egg.
Knead dough with hands until firm.
Roll our dough with a rolling pin, and use a glass cup to make the circles.
Add about 1 T. filling to center of each circle, and pinch the edges firmly (if you don't have a pierogi device like we do).
Cook in boiling water for 7 - 10 minutes until tender.
Top with melted butter, a sprinkle of sugar and optional whipped cream.
