I was going to post recipie for a Pierogies with meat then I found that. The thing I make different is dough I never add any kind of fat to it because it makes the dough difficult to work with. I use the 2 and half cup of flour with 1 egg and half cup of water and mix it with electric mashine for at least 15 minutes.
