But come around xmas, I go over to my mom's place and help her make about 12doz or so of the real deal pierogi.<br />She uses a mixer to help with the dough if making it herself, I make it by hand when I come over. so much better.<br />Gergyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340782921119132582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-21668333461985373262012-09-14T17:33:21.462-04:002012-09-14T17:33:21.462-04:00Chef, those look pretty good and I will try them. ...Chef, those look pretty good and I will try them. My Ukrainian Grandmother used to make them from scratch every month at her church, for fund raising. She made them occasionally for her family. (*sigh*) I've made them from her recipe once and it was a lot of work. I made some mistakes in technique. If you ever get around to making these from scratch on one of your videos, I would be very thankful!Doc Simonsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491088737455985455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-61664006863669916092012-09-14T03:57:44.554-04:002012-09-14T03:57:44.554-04:00Made some of these this evening with square wonton...Made some of these this evening with square wonton skins. They were great and straightforward. The technique I used was to egg wash four wantons, fill them, fold them, finish them, and repeat. I used the whole stack of wontons and have some filling leftover for tomorrow. I froze half the dumplings for my little sister who's in grad school.KPeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984807463554346990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-27041242111331711682012-09-10T20:11:49.830-04:002012-09-10T20:11:49.830-04:00I'm always looking for ways to cut corners in ...I'm always looking for ways to cut corners in the kitchen when I can.
