Learn to make authentic Ukrainian pierogi, AKA varenyky, versatile dumplings beloved in Ukraine and Poland, with an easy-to-master dough and classic fillings. Featuring Stardust flour from Barton Springs Mill, this class introduces a tender, pliable dough that’s a joy to work with and perfect for savory and sweet creations.
Prepare one of the simplest varenyky dough recipes, made with a short list of ingredients. Learn how to create a soft, springy dough that rests for just 5–10 minutes, rolls thin, and cooks in only 2–3 minutes. You’ll discover tips for working with dumpling makers like the Pierogi Maker by Cucina Pro or the Norpro Ravioli Maker to save time and achieve consistent results.
We'll create two dishes during class: Potato, Cheese, and Bacon Varenyky
drizzled with brown butter sauce and topped with caramelized onion; and Tart Cherry Varenyky drizzled with cherry syrup, cream, and topped with grated dark chocolate.
