Pirogies anyone??

I've had this pirogi maker for several months with the hope of making some pirogis or fried pies to try it out.  I'm now glad to say .... it works!!!!!  It makes pirogies that look professional!  Check 'em out!!






To the right is the simple hinged maker, into which you place a circle of rolled-out dough and fill the little pocked with potato and onion mixture with some herbs and spices added and some cheddar cheese or you can fill with sauerkraut and potatoes.

When done they look like those on the tray - every one picture perfect.  I am so impressed with this little gadget!  It comes in 3 sizes - this is actually the smallest one. At this point, I froze several for a later meal.

For dinner right away, you plop some in salted boiling water until they float, then move to the frying pan. 

In the fry pan, I melted butter and sauteed some onions, then added the pirogis.  When they started to show a little color, I took them out and served them up with a dab of sour cream on top.  Boy, were they good!!!  Pam, I think you'd love one of these!!  It really did make it easier, and not a single one fell apart in the water.

YUM!!
