Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 1.5 cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 pinch salt
Filling
  • 100 g cherries
  • 100 g sugar

Method
 

  1. Mix all the dough ingredients together and knead into a springy, firm dough. Let it rest for about 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the cherries with the sugar and set aside so they release their juice for the sauce.
  3. Roll out the dough very thin and cut out circles with a glass.
  4. Place the berries in the center of each circle and pinch the vareniki closed.
  5. Cook the vareniki in boiling salted water for 5-6 minutes, no longer. Serve with sour cream and the cherry juice sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

The shaped vareniki can be frozen ahead of time and cooked straight from the freezer whenever you need them.
