I made these for the first time last Easter. They came out great and the experience of making them was not as difficult as I had imagined. This is because I made them many years ago as a teenager before I knew I had Celiac disease and the dough came out very chewy and tough. Horrible experience as I recall and I never made them again until I tried your recipe. Great work and thank you for sharing this. My daughter and sister, who both have Celiac disease, loved them!!!! I will be making them next week for Easter again…..can’t wait!

I saw several people talk about the rolling out of the dough for pierogi. I make them fairly often using a pasta roller (the roller not the cutters). Here is how:

Once you make the dough, flatten it slightly with your hand so that it can fit into the pasta machine. On the widest setting (usually 0 or 1) pass the dough through. Then fold it in thirds. Rotate dough 90 degrees and run through it the machine again still at widest setting. Again fold it in thirds, rotate 90 degrees and repeat. Continue until the dough has a good consistency.

Then set the roller to the next smaller setting (so 2) and run the dough through. Run the dough through just once at each smaller setting. Usually a good thickness is achieved around a mid-range on a pasta roller (such as a 4 setting on a roller with 8 settings).

Then cut out our pierogi and continue the process. The pasta maker just takes the back breaking rolling out of the process.

Lydia, although I’ve never made them to keep in the fridge (I always opted for the freezer to keep them for longer periods), I’m sure that would be fine!

I’m making dinner fir my family and 4 of my siblings are gluten free. I was wondering could you do the dough and stuff them a day early and just keep them in the fridge?

I just made these, and they are fantastic!! I actually grabbed an idea from another blog to make samosas using your recipe for the dough. I baked them with a curried chicken filling, and I am going to have to pack them away soon because I can’t stop eating them! The next test will be on my boys as soon as they get home! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for saving my Christmas! I’m still getting use to being gluten free and thought I would not be able to have pierogi’s at my Polish family Christmas dinner. They turned out great!

Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I am 55 years old and was diagnosed with hashimotos 2 years ago and have been Gluten Free ever since. I watched my Ukranian grandmother and then my mother make these since I was born and it has made me sick that I could no longer eat them. I made this recipe with a few variations and they turned out PERFECT. I wish I could submit photos. To the dough I added on egg yolk. this gave the dough the perfect color. The filling was half mashed potatoes and half ricotta cheese with 1 TBSP butter and 1//2 onion sauted in minimal butter and salt and pepper with one more egg yolk added. These were not only picture perfect they tasted amazing and were made almost exactly like my grandmothers and her mothers and her mothers etc…all born in the Ukraine. How special that I can now continue on this tradition of homemade petehe’ ( as we call them in Ukranian). My own daughter helped me make them. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this recipe.
