Homemade Polish Cabbage Pierogi Recipe

For Making the Dough: Take a bowl and put the egg, oil, flour, and salt into it. Mix the ingredients with your hands. You can also whisk it with a dough hook attachment.  Now add water slowly and knead the dough until all ingredients are mixed and no lump is left.  For Cabbage Filling: Wash the cabbage and onions and finely chop them.  Take a pan and put the cabbage in it. Add 2 cups of water and cook the cabbage until soft.  When the cabbage is soft, drain extra water.  Melt butter in the pan and fry the onion in it until soft and caramelized.  Mix onions and cabbage and season with pepper and salt.  For Making Mold Cabbage Pierogi Divide your dough into 3 or 4 pieces. Spread some flour on the countertop and thinly roll each dough piece over it.  Cut circles from the dough by using a round cookie cutter.  Put 2-3 tbsp of cabbage filling in the center of the circles.  Pull the edges together to form pierogi. To save your pierogi from breaking, pinch tightly and don’t leave any free space while sealing. Repeat the same process until all the dough and filling is utilized.  For cooking pierogi Take a big pot add water, and salt in it. Let it boil. Throw your pierogies into the boiling water one by one. Let them boil for 1 minute.  When the pierogies start floating on the top, take them out with the help of a slotted spoon.  Your Cabbage Pierogies are ready. Pour the lard or melted butter on the top and serve hot.
