Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Water, warm
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, then add the egg and sour cream.
Drizzle in the melted butter while mixing slowly with a fork or your fingers to start incorporating the ingredients.
Adding a little at a time, pour the warm water into the bowl while continuing to mix. The dough will begin to come together into a sticky mass.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth, soft, and pliable. Add a touch more flour if the dough is too sticky, but avoid making it too dry.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This helps the gluten relax and makes the dough easier to roll.
When ready to use, divide the dough into smaller portions and roll out to your desired thickness. Use a round cutter to create circles for filling, or proceed with your favorite pierogi recipe.
The dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours or frozen for later use. If freezing, wrap tightly in plastic and place in a resealable freezer bag.
