Ingredients: Dough: 400 g of flour 1 egg 3/4 of glass of water a pinch of salt 1 tsp of butter Filling: 800 g of cherries half a glass of sugar 3 tbsp of potato flour 200 g of sour cream Directions:1. Remove stones out of the cherries. Mix with sugar, potato flour, and let the juice flow out. 2. Knead the dough out of water, egg, flour, butter and salt. Knead thoroughly, then cover with a hot pot turned upside down and and let it stay for approximately 10 minutes. Then cut the dough into 3 equal parts. Shape each of the parts into a roll as thick as a finger, and cut into pieces of the same thickness. Shape each of these small pieces into flat round shapes (like scones). Do this on the board sifted with flour. 3. Put 3 or four cherries onto each of the scones. Then bring together the opposite edges of a scone and pinch them so that they don`t come apart. When you have a closed semicircular shape with the filling inside, it is the varenyk. 4. Fill a big pot with water, add a little salt to it and bring to boil. Put the varenyks into the boiling water and boil them for 5 or 7 minutes. 5. Serve with sour cream. |
