OK, so they are not really a dessert, but they sure are delicious and they do require a dough. So, here goes...I got a hankering for my grandmother's pierogi. I decided to make her dough and fill it with a bunch of different fillings using the stuff I happened to have on hand at the house. I ended up making them one of the nights that Anna was here visiting me so she could help! We made 3 kinds - sauerkraut ("kapusta" to which I also added finely chopped German brats and caramelized onions), sweet potato and butternut squash (with a little maple and cream) and a sweet variety using brie and strawberry preserves.
They were all delicious, but I have to say I liked the sauerkraut ones the best. It might be the Polish in me! Basically, you can stuff just about any food you want in these babies. The recipe below is for my grandmother's pierogi dough, along with instructions on how to make it and fill and cook the pierogi. Enjoy!
