Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 1.75 cups dry-curd cottage cheese
• 0.75 cup cold water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine cottage cheese, egg yolks, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

Step 2

Whisk flour, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Add cold water and oil; mix or knead into a smooth dough.

Step 3

Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface; cut into 3-inch circles using a glass, can, or cookie cutter. Place a spoonful of cottage cheese filling onto each circle. Fold in half and pinch edges together to seal.

Step 4

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Carefully drop pierogies into water; cook until they float, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from water with a slotted spoon; place on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to drain.
