Zosia's World's Best Pierogi Recipe
Here it is--my grandma's pierogi recipe.
It wasn't easy to get. When asked for a recipe, grandma always said something like "get a pile of flour" or "knead it until it feels right." She never used actual recipes. So if I wanted to learn something from her, I needed to go to her kitchen and work with her. She'd put the flour in a bowl--I'd stop her and measure it. She'd knead the dough--I'd get my hands in there to see how "right" felt.
I've spent some great afternoons making pierogi with friends (none of whom were Polish!). And sharing a bottle of wine (though not absolutely necessary) does help.
If you make pierogi with this recipe, let me know how they turn out!

I'm back from a visit to Omer, Michigan, to do a reading/signing. Omer's a great little town, with a lot of good things happening. Thank you to Alice Sproule, who not only did a fantastic job of setting up my reading (51 in the audience, great discussion and questions) but also made me welcome in her home and gave me the opportunity to meet her wonderful family and friends.
