Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup water (warm)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
Crack the egg into the well, add the sour cream, and pour in the melted butter.
Using a fork, stir the wet ingredients together, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides of the bowl.
Slowly add the warm water a little at a time, continuing to mix until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface, and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, letting it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
Once rested, roll out the dough to approximately 1/8 inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut out rounds using a 3-inch cookie cutter or an inverted glass.
Your pierogies dough is now ready to be filled with your desired stuffing and cooked!
