Homemade Pierogi

A cup of warm water, 3 cups of flour (all-purpose, and some whole-wheat for sprinkling/rolling), a dab of oil, and you've got dough.


Mash them taters with Earth Balance, Daiya, a raw onion,
and black pepper, and you've got filling, son!


Drink a beer to relax - here comes the fun! I don't have either a rolling pin or a proper cutting tool, but use a drinking glass for both.

I halfed the dough and stuck some in the fridge to keep.
Filling and pinching takes me some time. 
Too little filling ... too much ... the one in-between was just right ...

You MUST PINCH! Keep that filling IN!
Boil for about 5 minutes each, however, I prefer pierogi fried. A few minutes on each side. I threw in some Tofurkey kielbasa while that was going on.

By the time the dough was almost out, I was tired of making little ones,
so I finished off with a giant one, half the size of the frying pan.
Gentle Mercutio, put thy rapier up...

Serve with mustard, pickles, and hot peppers for sexiest results.
