To make this vareniki with farmer cheese recipe, start by combining cheese, sugar and egg to make the dumpling filling. Prepare a pastry dough using eggs, sour cream, water, flour, sugar and salt. Knead and roll out the dough and using a cookie cutter or cup, cut the dough into circles. Place a spoonful of filling on each pastry circle and fold to create a scallop-edged dumpling. Cook in boiling water and serve warm with sour cream or jam. Yum!
To make my Vareniki with Farmers Cheese, you will need the following ingredients:
Combine ½ a cup of sugar with 2 pounds of farmer's cheese and 1 egg in a bowl. When the ingredients are fully mixed, set to one side.
Mix 2 eggs together with 2 tablespoons of sour cream, ½ a cup of lukewarm water and 1 cup of milk until you have a smooth mixture.
Add 4 cups of flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring mixture together and knead the dough by hand or using a stand-up mixer until it is no longer sticky.
Roll the pierogi dough on a floured surface. Cut out dough circles using a floured cup or cookie cutters.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold each dough piece in half and press the edges together firmly using your fingers. Make sure that the seal is tight enough for your filling not to fall out. Use your fingers to create a scalloped edge by pinching along the sealed dough.
Repeat the process until all the dough and filling is used.
Bring a large saucepan of water to boil. Place 10-20 pierogi in the pan and cook until the dumplings float to the top. Drain and top with melted unsalted butter. Repeat until all the pierogi are cooked.
Serve with sour cream, jam or sugar.
