Description
The name of the pierogi goes back to the Slavic word for feast, which occurs in all Eastern European languages, for example in Polish as Pierog. Throughout Eastern Europe and Finland, people love their pierogi. Emigrants from Ukraine even made them popular in Canada as 'perogies'.
However, Russian and Polish pierogi differ. Russian dumplings are prepared with yeast dough and baked or deep-fried. Polish dumplings, on the other hand, are boiled in water and are reminiscent of Russian pelmeni or vareniki.
We present our sweet dumplings with a simple oil dough, which requires no previous knowledge in baking. You should allow some time to roll out and fill the dumplings. That requires loving manual labor.
