Pierogi Dough 1

Recipe By : Posted rec.food.recipes by Dan Eisenreich, dan@clark.net
Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pasta Polish
Russian

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water

This is my Grandmother’s recipe, and I’ve eaten many dozens of Pierogi from
it. My personal favorite is the cheese filling, but I’ll also include the
sauerkraut filling. By the way, these come from Poland.

Mound flour on bread board with a well in the center. Drop eggs and salt into
well. Add water, working from center to outside of mound, mix flour into
liquid in center with one hand and keep dough mounded with the other. Knead
until well mixed and firm. Cover dough with a warm bowl and let rest 10
minutes.

Divide dough into halves. Roll out 1/2 dough on floured surface as thin as
possible. If it gets too thick, it turns noodle-like and they are no good.
Cut 3 inch rounds with biscuit cutter or bowl mouth. Place filling a little to
one side of center. Moisten edges with water fold over and pinch edges
together. Be sure they are sealed well or all the filling will leak out.
Drop pierogi into boiling water. Cook gently 3-5 minutes, or until they
float. Lift out of water with perforated spoon, and drop them into a frying
pan with butter or margarine. Fry until golden.

This recipe yields only about a dozen. I always double or triple it. If I’m
going to go thru the trouble of making them, I’m going to freeze some too. If
you want to freeze them, make sure you boil them first, then rub margarine on
them so they don’t stick together in the freezer. Then thaw in the microwave
and drop them in the frying pan.

Title: Nancy’s Ice Cream Kolacky
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 8 servings

1 pt Vanilla; or
French vanilla ice cream
1 lb Margarine
4 c Flour
Solo brand fruit filling; yo
-ur desired flavor
Powdered sugar

Recipe by: Hammond times (Cook of the week), 12/7/95
Preparation Time: 24:0
Add flour to margarine and crumble in pastry blender. Add ice cream to
crumbled mixture and, using dough hooks, work into dough. (If you don’t
have dough hooks, use your hands. Rubber gloves will help cut down the
cold.)
When dough is smooth, shape into ball and refrigerate overnight.
Roll dough to about 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface.
Using the rim of a glass dipped in flour, cut out circles.
Authur comments: Christmas just isn’t Christmas for the family and friends
of Nancy Koronkowski until they catch the aroma of ice cream kolacky
wafting from her oven door.
Nancy’s mother, Valentina Nowak, was known as a great cook and a
fantastic baker. As a child, Nancy gobbled up her share of yummy
pastries, paying scant attention to how they were created.
Before Valentina died, she told her daughter, “Nancy, you’ve got to learn
to make ice cream kolacky.”
But it wasn’t until after her mother’s death that Koronkowski found in a
church cookbook the recipe she’s sharing today.
Her efforts were rewarded when her daughter, Karyn, said, “Mom, these
kolacky taste just like Grandma’s.”
When first married, Koronkowski scouted for recipes in cookbooks because
she was embarrassed to ask her mother.
“Once I asked Mom how to make chicken soup,” she recalls. “Mom and her
friend had a good laugh and Mom said, ‘Just throw the chicken in the pot
and cook it!’ ”
Today, Koronkowski loves cooking.
She has a cabinet full of recipes and is fond of making soups, including
chicken and oxtail. Each Christmas Eve, in keeping with tradition, she
makes Polish sausage.
For Koronkowski, cooking and baking are ways to make her family happy.
“My husband, Bob, loves my cooking,” she said.
Actually, Koronkowski makes kolacky throughout the year because her
family and friends keep asking for it. Each Christmas, she bakes 10-12
batches of kolacky to share with others. There’s just one problem with
this moist, subtly sweet cookie. Once you bake them, your family is
likely to expect them year after year.
Place on cookie sheet and make a thumbprint in center of each.
Fill thumbprints with 1/2 teaspoon Solo filling.
Bake in 350-degree oven for 20 minutes.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar when cool.

NOTES : Freezes well. If making to freeze straight away, add coconut and
heat till melted. Then add cold beans and coriander and leave to cool.
Beans sink, so for even distribution add some to each container.
I grate coconut straight into the soup with a rotary grater.
Red beans make a nice contrast to the yellow soup, but you could use any
cooked beans.
1 tin (410g) of red kidney beans gave 8 oz drained beans, about 1 1/2
cups.
1 cauli gives 1 lb florets.
