I grew up with these priogs, my grandmother used to fill bichak with spinach, but this time I tried mine with pumpkin, which turned out sweet and tasty. Super easy to prepare too. You're going to love it!
Ingredients
- 500 g plain white flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 x eggs
- 2 tsp salt
- 500 g pumpkin
- 2 x yellow onion
- 100 g butter
- 300 g water
Method
- Mix flour, salt, eggs and water to a firm dough. Add more/less water if necessary until you get a smooth dough. Let the dough rest under a towel.
- Meanwhile, peel and cut the pumpkin into small square pieces and the onion. Add salt and pepper. Shape the dough into two balls and roll one firmly into a rectangular shape. Cut square shapes and pour a tablespoon of the filling onto each dough shape. Turn one side over to form a square pie. Do the same with the other dough.
- Heat a frying pan, lower to medium heat and fry the pierogies on both sides. When the pirogues are ready, you can spread the cold butter on top & place all the pirogues on top of each other so that the butter is drawn in and becomes buttery.
- Serve with light yogurt and enjoy with a cup of tea with honey!
