Wareneki
Print This Recipe
These are pronounced "Varenetche". There are many fillings that can be used for these. (To me they are like "Pierogies").
INGREDIENTS
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
2-3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon saltFOR THE DOUGH: Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl; add eggs and milk. Mix until a medium-soft dough is formed.
Roll out very thin and cut into 4-inch circles or squares.
Add filling of choice, about 1 rounded teaspoon. Moisten edges, fold over and pinch to seal. Make sure they are sealed tightly, so that the filling doesn't come out during the boiling.
Boil in rapidly boiling water for about 5 minutes. Drain.
Once boiled, you can either serve that way, or fry in a hot skillet with butter and onions until a nice golden brown. Serve with Cream Gravy, or sour cream.
FILLINGS
COTTAGE CHEESE - To 1 pound cottage cheese, drained, add 3 egg yolks and salt to taste.
MASHED POTATOES - Mashed potatoes with bacon, cheese or onions. Make mashed potatoes according to the amount of Wareneki you are making. Add cheese, cooked bacon or finely diced onions.
Any combination you want to experiment with.
