1/2 teaspoon Onion powder

1 tablespoon Oil (or ghee for onion)

3 cups Whole purpose flour

1/2 cup Milk (2%, warm)

1/2 to 3/4 cup Warm water (depending on how much your flour soaks)

1/2 cup Sour cream

2 tablespoon Oil (or ghee for frying)

Hướng dẫn

For the filling:

Place potatoes in a pot, cover with water and cook until fork tender;

In the meantime heat up the oil or ghee in a frying pan, add onions, and cook until golden brown;

Once potatoes are cooked, using a potato ricer or potato masher, mashed potatoes so they don't have lumps;

Add farmer cheese and mix together;

Add onions, other cheeses, spices, salt, and pepper and mix well.

For the dough:

Pour the flour on a counter or other surface that will allow you to make the dough;

Add a pinch of salt;

Make a little hole in the middle and start adding milk and butter;

Add a little water at a time and work the dough until you can form a ball about 10-15 minutes;

Once done, cover it with the big bowl and let it rest for about 20-30 minutes;

Roll the dough until thin (like pasta) and using either a cookie cutter or a large wine glass cut the circles;

Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the middle of the circle;

Wet one half of the circle and then seal it together;

Boil a large pot of water and season with salt;

Once the water is boiling put about 8 pierogi at a time;

Once they come to the surface let them cook for 1 minute and using a spider or slotted spoon take them out on a plate;

If you want to fry them as I did here, use 1 tablespoon of oil or ghee and fry pierogi on each side until golden brown;

For the toppings:

Using separate pans add oil and onions and fry the onions until golden brown and bacon until crispy (you don't need fat for bacon as it is already fatty);

Add onions and bacon on top of the pierogi and serve with sour cream.
