Recipe View
2 mins
Transfer the fried pierogies to a buttered baking sheet. Sprinkle with the cooked onions and keep warm in a preheated oven at a low setting (around 200°F) until ready to serve. (2 minutes)
For the most tender pierogies, avoid overworking the dough. Handle it gently and roll it out thinly.
Feel free to experiment with different fillings! Sauerkraut, cheese, or meat fillings are all delicious variations.
If you're making a large batch, you can freeze the uncooked pierogies. Place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag for longer storage. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the boiling time.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce for a classic accompaniment.
