Do you have any tips on what to do with whole milk that's just starting to turn? Milk and eggs are about as common as hens teeth, in my area. Really not a fan of powderd milk.

Some fillings I would suggest: - boil some sauerkraut, fry some mushrooms and onions, mix and pass them through a meat grinder - make a broth with a piece of meat and then grind the boiled meat with some carrots and onion (you'll have a bonus soup!) - brown lentils with carrots and onions - potatoes with onion and cottage cheese, seasoned with a lot of black pepper - buckwheat and cottage cheese - spinach and feta - frozen strawberries or blueberries, without thawing - sweet cottage cheese These are the most popular and tested combinations and I love all of them.

Hi Glen, Wanted to take a moment to thank you. I've came across your videos here and there but never really tried any of the recipes. This one however was really special for me. I am a full time content creator on KZread based in Winnipeg. This pandemic situation has hit me in a way it hit many. I'm the parent of a 5 year old girl and schools and daycares closed. This means my little girl is now with me in the house 24-7. Despite being a work from home KZreadr who should be in the perfect situation to deal with self isolation as I'm sure you can imagine it's near impossible to film and edit videos with a 5 year old running around, especially when I'm used to operating the channel while she is at school. I've gone from having 30-40 hours a week to make a video to 5 or 6. My wife is a frontline worker, immuno compromised, and does shiftwork. A very scary situation that we have yet to fully adapt to, and we are taking the social distancing very seriously cutting ourselves off from friends and family completely for the time being. Trying to go the extra mile to offset those that don't. Anyway, back to your video. I'm Ukrainian Canadian, 5th generation. Pierogies are a staple in my house. My Baba is the one who makes them and fills our freezer every few months. I've always had a desire to learn to make them myself as I know she won't be around forever, but I'm also terrified of making anything with dough. Looking for activities to keep me and my daughter busy I came across this video and it really hit home. Figured there is no better time than now to try this. So we made a small batch (cut recipe in half just incase it was a failure). Turned out, to my surprise, perfectly. Even the ones she pinched survived without opening up. Having a home made pierogi meal, and tackling learning something I was previously intimidated by, was a great morale boost for me during a pretty dark and scary time. Thank you. As a KZreadr I know the effort, heart, and soul put into videos like this and I want you to know this one really landed and really helped. I just printed out your recipe for no kneed bread, and we are going to try making that dough today. Be well. Stay Safe.

Hello Jeremy, what a lovely surprise to meet you here. Im both your and Glens subscriber for years, and also ukrainian. Pierogies (aka "vareniki", as we called them) is thing that connects us all across the globe :D

Leaving in the cat and not shooting a retake ending segment... I like that level of honesty... especially these days.

I love the episodes that have Jules as more of a co-host!

just seeing this in '22, and in retrospect Glen's preamble about the then current events was such sound and calming advice. Thanks for doing this, Glen. We live thousands of kilometers apart, but I still feel connected. I sincerely appreciate the effort and expertise you put into this channel.

My (late) Ukrainian mother-in-law introduced me to perogies - hers were delicious, and got a recipe from her. Later, I made some and experimented with a different filling: Sauerkraut and bacon, and those were delicious. I used raw sauerkraut and chopped, fried bacon. Online, various people rave about sauerkraut & mushroom filling. Mother-in-law boiled hers - they're done when they float - then she would put them in a large bowl with sauteed onions and mushrooms, chopped fried bacon, add the perogies and sauteed veg in layers and give the bowl a gentle stir.

Hi! I'm from Poland and I say your pierogies are great! I will try this filling. And about what you said/the way you made them. 1. I'm sure you know this but if you decide to make 2 ingredient dough, use milk, because the dough of the boiled pierogies will get harder with time if you use water and milk slows this process really good. 2. Use a steamer If you want to cook pierogies taken right out of freezer. It only takes 8-10 min. 3. if you will ever make pierogies with potatoes and cottage cheese, fry them with garlic and thyme - the flavour is great.

Thumbs up, just for the beautiful message you put out regarding helping senior citizens and folks in need.

Minnesotan who moved to Canada and never had perogies before then. And oh my goodness 😍. When made well they can really change your life

Absolutely true - they are life-changing!!!! Some of the best comfort food that's ever been invented (or that I've ever come across anyway, and I have an adventurous palate - I'll eat anything once). Anywhere that has a large population of either Ukrainian or Polish immigrants (including parts of the US...though I guess Minnesota is dominated by those with Fenno-Scandian heritage) has a perogy culture, chiefly spread via Orthodox church fundraising campaigns, where the old babushkas of the congregation get together and make thousands of perogies to sell (though what they are called does vary - varenyky and pierogi are the main Ukrainian and Polish names respectively, but I learned the Rusyn language variant, "pyrohy," pronounced more like _pudaheh_ ). My grandmother's mother was born in a part of southwestern Ukraine (the Carpathian region) that was actually Polish land pre-WW2, so she grew up on the quark cheese (a type of farmer's cheese) and potato version served with fried onions on top (which is the Polish way of doing things) before moving to Manitoba and starting a family. Of course, they couldn't get quark cheese here back then, so when my grandmother learned how to make them as a girl in the '30s, Cheddar cheese was substituted. And since her passing, my mother and I have carried on the tradition...although I have made my own addition, using a sprinkling of fresh diced jalapenos in addition to the Cheddar-potato filling, giving them a nice bite. People do eat them boiled, but we always boil before frying in butter and oil (some people even DEEP FRY them...I had that once and it was almost TOO good). I'd have fried them more than Glen did though...getting a nice medium-brown toastiness on both sides is key, because of those Maillard reactions that turns the sugars and amino acids into awesome FLAVOUR! And they do freeze really well, meaning that we can turn 5 lbs of potatoes and 1.5 pounds of cheese into about 15 dozen small-ish perogies (we make them using about a 3.25" cutter, so they're bigger than Glen's version, but I'm keeping my eye open for a 3.75" or 4" metal can that can be repurposed into a perogy-cutter), and freeze them individually on trays before filling Ziploc freezer bags with 18-20 perogies to a bag (and like Glen said, you don't have to thaw them - just chuck them in the boiling water frozen, while melting some butter in a pan for frying afterwards).

Pierogies are so good.

This is a great pantry meal/family pierogy-making project! My pantry potatoes were growing vines, so I’ve got this recipe saved for after our next grocery trip! The only “panic buying” I’ve seen, has been that hand sanitizer and TP are out-of-stock, however, all Canadian shoppers are as polite as ever, in Loblaws!

I live in a town in Ohio that is chock full of Polish people. I 'm not Polish myself but I have had the joy of eating the result of that time of year where friend's Polish mothers, grandmothers, and aunts would get together and make a ton of pierogie. I especially love the kraut pierogie and the sweet cheese ones. Oh boy do I love the sweet cheese ones.

I am Polish American. My dad makes his perogy with dry curd cottage cheese and onions. He also makes his a bit bigger. THEY ARE SO GOOD! Then they are fried in butter, salt and pepper before eating. Probably my favorite meal. Cheers!

Beautiful! Perogies are a favorite in my house and a happy memory from my childhood as my German grandmother lived next door to a Polish family who would make massive amounts of them once a year around Easter. They also made the most amazing Kielbasa sausage. The old world recipes are so special and I am so glad you shared this with your viewers!

Greetings from Poland! The land of pierogies :)

Very interesting. My partner is half Ukrainian and when were 'courting' as they say, which was a long time ago, we used to meet on Saturday at the Ukrainian Club to eat Perahairs (no idea about the spelling just done it phonetically). Several old ladies made hundreds of these every Saturday and the old guys and their descendants would love to eat them. Their dough was simply flour and water and there were two filling options, onions and sauerkraut or potato and cheese. (The sauerkraut had been boiled before using as a filling). They were served simply covered in fried, chopped bacon and onions. Nothing fancy, nothing expensive, just good and simple fare but so nice. I think the sour cream was not available in those days in the UK so they did without. "She Who Must Be Obeyed," tells me that her dad filled them with baked beans and baked them in the oven. British style baked beans not the North American version. We learned to make these and they were a firm favourite with our children and are still made at their behest a couple of times a year since. We make them a little larger than you did, about a 3" cutter.

I don't know why - I suppose it's all the isolation we're forced into right now - but, it was especially heartwarming to see both of you working together in the kitchen. Maybe I'm just missing my wife, who's 1000 miles away caring for her dad right now. Whatever it is, you made my day. Thanks, Friends!

My heritage food, so here are a couple of hints. Microwave the potatoes with peel, peel them and then mash, more flavor and dryer than boiling. Farmer's cheese, cottage cheese in the filling are traditional. Three inch cutter, and leave the dough thick enough so you can stretch it while filling. Only cut six or eight rounds at a time as the cut edge will remain moist and crimping will be easier and the seal will be better. You can use sauerkraut filling, cook a couple of diced bacon strips add drained but unwashed sauerkraut and diced onions to the pan with the bacon, cook until sauerkraut is browned lightly. Your dough is pretty much the same as my Baba's but for the most tender dough use only the yolks. When she had plenty of eggs from her chickens that is what she did. I would eat them every day but fattening treats need to be moderated. You can fill them with fruits too.

Can confirm that making pierogi is a group affair. Being from a large polish family our pierogi making sessions tend to last a weekend and include 3 or 4 generations of the family together. They're cheap and easy food that those of us with families from the former eastern block countries are supper familiar with.

This would be a good time to break out the Depression Era and World War II cookbooks as they focus on doing much with nothing. Granted, we're not down to that type of official rationing (yet) but the panic buyers have stripped the shelves, so choices are limited until the system catches back up. Thank you for both the basic use what you've got recipes AND the calm, gentle words of encouragement in this time of chaos, panic, and lack of coherent leadership (in the US at least). It helps.

I use the cooled potato water to make my dough. I really like the consistency the extra potato starch adds, it helps it retain moisture. Also, I personally think that pierogies fried with onions and bacon is as Canadian as anything and it’s awesome to see them. I have zero Ukrainean or Polish in me but I grew up on them all the same.

Thank you for your calm energy. I was separated from my family when this video came out, not sure if i would be able to make it home; and it made me feel safe.

My favourite perogie is a traditional mennonite "vereneki". We mix dry cottage cheese with an egg, salt, and pepper to fill them, and then serve them with cream gravy on top. Amazing!

Grew up in a Polish-Catholic neighborhood - I can just about taste your pierogis just by looking, they are yummy! Exactly as I like them, too!

Your show is so ideal for this pandemic pantry stuff, since you basically specialize in depression era cooking. Awesome.

Thank you for the recipe! I want to be conservative with my eggs but there's a world of possibility out there... I'm thinking of using the pumpkin we have been keeping in the freezer since fall for the liquid aspect of the dough... yum.

My busia, mom, and sisters would make a few hundred pierogi every year for our Christmas meal. A few suggestions would be to roll all of the filling into balls then cover with a cloth until ready, then roll out the dough. We would team up; my mom would roll and cut the dough, my sisters and busia would fill them and pinch them closed, then I would do the boiling because I was oldest! We’d have 3 fillings and my favorite was the kraut/mushroom. You make me want to try to make some this weekend by myself for the first time.

When you make homemade pierogies, it is so satisfying! My background is mixed Slavic, including Polish and Ukrainian. My late, half Polish, half Ukrainian immigrant grandmother taught me how to make pierogies, when I was a child. She made two kinds. Sauerkraut and onion, and cottage cheese and potato. They were amazing! I like to make mine with sauerkraut, lean bacon, chopped onion, chopped garlic, caraway seed, salt and fresh ground black pepper as a filling. My grandmother (we called her Baba), her husband were from Galicia, near the Polish Ukrainian border. My late, paternal grandad, (we called him Gido), had a Polish surname, had Ukrainian, and maybe Russian in him. I don't recall my other (late) grandmother making pierogies. I don't know why she never made them. She was born in Alberta, Canada, to parents who were from Czechoslovakia, and her husband, (my late, maternal grandad), was from Poland. Slavic food is great food.

Mr. Glen; This is how to spell Pierogi. You said this recipe is subject to interpretation, well that's no understatement. My Grandmother used to even make a Dried Prune dessert variation, served with the usual onion butter sauce. The dichotomy of the two flavors was awesome believe it or not.

They aren't with us for very long and they make such an impact on our lives and hearts ♥

This is a good time to cook at home with old style comfort food recipes. Thanks!

Seems like a good recipe! I pretty much only make pierogi with sauerkraut and mushrooms at Christmas with my family and we do make hundreds at a time. Never seen butter in the dough, but I definitely see how it'd be a nice addition. One filling I like (and there's a bunch that are traditional in different regions) is buckwheat groats, onions and bacon, also pretty simple.

I love to make them too sauerkraut and mushroom also ricotta and pea are two of my faves. They freeze so well too! I just use a mason jar ring for a cutter or a cleaned out old tuna can. Yes I am classy like that. LOL

You two eat them like I do.. no cuttin' 'em in half with your fork. Just harpoon that thing and down they go! Or as Quint says in the movie Jaws; "A little shakin', a little tenderizin', and down you go!" You can't go wrong with perogies! Great video!

I actually really love the idea of a Tex-Mex version. I'm on Keto so potato is a no-go, but I'm sure I can adapt the dough and then stuff it with seasoned ground beef, cheese, bacon, onion. Then I can freeze them and prepare them for a quick meal.

Pirogi with mixed berries and ice cream is a great way to do them

Keep adding Chicken cameos (voice only counts!) and your channel will explode. ;) Also, a friend's grandson named his kitten Chicken; she was tickled to learn there's another Chicken kitty out there. Also again, these look delicious and I, too, couldn't find a bag of flour in the stores and am glad I bake a lot so I always have some.

Glen, I love your channel and the positivity you are sharing at the start of your video (not rambling). Love peirogis and haven't had them since I lived in Canada almost a decade ago. Thanks for sharing!

@@sandrastreifel6452 Indeed! Here in Canada, we have a large Ukrainian and Polish population. Those are two parts of my mixed Slavic background. The food is great.

Thank you so much Glen and Jewels.

i've always used vodka making my dough. i cant explain it but it just makes the texture so good

I just wanted to say I'm new to this channel but I've binged watched so, so many videos. You are doing a really good thing I think. Good, straight, honest, food and drink. I love you both. And I love the experimentation, and eye to history. It really is great actually, the more I type about it. Easy to watch, and just straight impressive and interesting really. I learned how to fix a mixer yesterday! And it all looks delicious! And, sorry, one more compliment. You guys are honest and descriptive about how it tastes. It helps, and it's rare.
