Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook until softened.
  4. Stir in sauerkraut and cook for another 5 minutes. Season with pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.
  5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or glass.
  6. Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold and seal the edges tightly.

Notes

  • For a richer filling, you can add some cheese to the sauerkraut and mushroom mixture.
  • Feel free to freeze uncooked pierogi for later use. Just boil them straight from the freezer when ready to eat.
