My mom taught me to make this dough recipe (I use 1 tablespoon of oil) and after kneeding the dough we let it "rest" for 15 minutes. It's reliable and always very tender. I boil my perogies, and toss in a mixture of melted butter and oil then spread them on a cookie sheet to freeze. These can be steamed or fried, right out of the freezer. Serve potatoe based perogies with bacon and onion and sour cream! Yum!! I make a potatoe and "homemade" cottage cheese filling, seasoned only with salt and pepper. I make another filling with velveeta, cheddar cheese, grated onion and potatoe that my kids love (it's more like store bought perogies). My brother always made sour kraut and bacon with onion added (they're excellent, too). And finally, blueberry filling! A perogie for every course! Excellent! Saves me from typing in my recipe.
