Lazy pierogi

Lazy pierogi

The dish of my childhood and a treat for my children. It is called "lazy" because it is easy to eat and even easier to prepare... If you use little flour it may be considered "light". If you serve it fried it is heaven in the mouth but it's packed  with calories. 













"Lazy pierogi"

- 1/2 kilo white full-fat cheese 
- 2 eggs
- flour, as much as can be incorporated
- sugar to sprinkle

Press the cheese, using a fork. Add two eggs, stir. Add as much flour as to be able  to form long rolls. Not too much however, to avoid making the dough to hard. 
Form long rolls, flatten them slightly with your hand and cut into small pieces diagonally. 
Boil water with salt,  throw in the pierogi in portions. Once they surface, boil for 1-2 minutes. Take out with colander ladle, pour hot butter on top and sprinkle with sugar.
