• 5 (start boiling large pot of water with salt and a little bit of olive oil).
• 6 roll out half the dough (roll very thin).
• 7 use a large rimmed glass (like a martini glass) or round cookie cuter to cut out 4-5 inch circles.
• 8 fill each circle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling
• 9 fold over ensuring that there is no air inside and edges are sealed. (i pinch edges together and then use a fork to seal each pierogie).
• 10 cook about 8-10 at a time in the boiling water. once they rise to the top of the water (approx 3-5 mins) remove with slotted spoon and top with butter/sauteed onions.
• 11 i like to sautee onions and then carefully toss the boiled pierogies into the pan to get them crispy. mmmm! enjoy!
