How To Make Pierogi

[justcallmetol]

thank you for sharing love you kiss

[ajdpadbury]

@justcallmetol Thanks to you for watching and commenting!

[justcallmetol]

@ajdpadbury thank you again kiss and big hug to you :)

[Ptah101]

Those are not proper pierogi, filling should be made with potatoes, cottage type cheese, fried onion and lots of black pepper

[ajdpadbury]

@Ptah101 Thanks for your comment, we found that the cottage type cheese is hard to find in England, ordinary cottage cheese is too wet, and we always use fried onions and plenty of pepper :)

[BeriBeriChan]

In the description it says that they are sometimes filled with fruit. What kind of fruit, exactly? Like oranges? Or are they to juicy? What about apples? Please help ):

[ajdpadbury]

@BeriBeriChan We like to use berries, any kind and they are great with a sprinkling sugar and creme frais :)

[netminder888]

just needed bacon bits ....real bacon bacon bits in the filler. Toppings should include carmelized sweet onions and sourcream.....and maybe fry them too before toppings after boiling. 'sniff sniff' miss my momma : (

[ajdpadbury]

@netminder888 Sounds like a wonderful way of having them :)

[darwinchevalier]

I remember my mother filled the pierogi with sour jam, cooked them then once cooled, fried them and served with sweet cream. Ever heard of that?

[ajdpadbury]

@darwinchevalier I have never heard of that, but they sound awesome!

[bambo1173]

jak to jakaś lipa a nie Ruskie Pierogi, a gdzie twaróg i cebulka przyrumieniona na paleni ??

[zuru385]

thats not real PIEROGI recipe....

[ajdpadbury]

@zuru385 why not?

[zuru385]

@zuru385 filling recipe:

potatoes

WHITE cheese

butter

fried onion

thats the real filling recipe.

You add the yellow cheese, am i right?

[martinez250710]

ruskie z żółtym serem zamiast twarogu i bez cebulki? kto tak robi?:\

[radconserv86]

Why did half of mine come apart in the water? What did I do wrong? Dziekuje dla video.

[DJLunasf]

mmm... add some sauerkraut & I'm in heaven!

[ajdpadbury]

@DJLunasf Yes exactly!

[JDwelle605]

Thank God for Polish food. :)

[ajdpadbury]

@JDwelle605 I agree!

[JDwelle605]

@ajdpadbury okrzyki

[xxpawcio11slxx]

POLSKA!!!!!!!!

[taxiwarrior]

She's beautiful!.....no

[uhhuhhim]

These look and sound really good, but was wondering if you could clarify the measurements. In the video, it says to use 4 cups of flour, but the amount listed in the description is 2 cups. What is the correct measurement of flour, and how long would you say you knead the dough? Please let me know, I hope you don't mind my asking.

[ajdpadbury]

@uhhuhhim Yes, it's four cups, sorry for the confusion.

[ajdpadbury]

@uhhuhhim oops no it's two cups actually, again sorry for the confusion!

[MsPerogi]

@uhhuhhim Don't you worry bout a thing! If you used only 2 cups of flour instead of 4 you would have less dough and would have left over filling thats all.There are so many different Perogi Recipes! And you can stuff them with any filling meat cheese fruit vetgee etc. And you can spice the fillings with any spice! For example onion, Garlic, scallon etc. etc.!

[gnugally17]

Best video on how to make these suckers. They are my favorite food and sure beats store bought pierogies and are much cheaper. ; )

[ajdpadbury]

@gnugally17 That's very kind of you, thanks!

[panterands]

What kind of cheese do you use?

[ajdpadbury]

@panterands We use a crumbly white cheese, usually white stilton.

[panterands]

@ajdpadbury Ok, thanks!!! ;)

[g7727]

I'm hungry now.

[corpsemunger]

yummy

[bhargvarohit]

cool..........................­................

[ajdpadbury]

@bhargvarohit Thanks!

[OmgItsTeera]

love the music (:

[ajdpadbury]

@OmgItsTeera Thank you:)

[TheRabidPosum]

Looks great! What I do to top them is sautee just until golden in extra virgin olive oil, take them out, leave the oil in, and add fresh diced tomatoes and sliced onion, a little salt and chrushed red pepper, and cook until the onions are soft and it looks like a sauce. Great topping. You can also add fresh garlic and spinach.

[ajdpadbury]

@TheRabidPosum Sounds like a good way to have them:)

[aldhizak]

ugh... the music...

overall, it's great! thanks! (from indonesia)

[ajdpadbury]

@aldhizak Thanks, you can always mute the music, personally I like it!

[VideoLalafyied]

isnt there suppose to be onions in there

[ajdpadbury]

@VideoLalafyied There was.

[BabyGTaye13]

some of the recipies I've read don't use an egg, milk and oil in the dough, just flour and water.. does that affect the taste of the dough overall?

[ajdpadbury]

@BabyGTaye13 It may be tough and bland with just flour and water.

[Arradien]

Hi Just wondering what oil and cheese you used?

[ajdpadbury]

@Arradien We use vegetable oil and white stilton:)

[PhreakyNerdy]

Cool! I have a Polish friend, I surely like to make this for her and other!^U^

[ajdpadbury]

@PhreakyNerdy I am sure she would be very pleased that you made the effort!

[Psotka43]

co to jest??? kto tak robi pierogi???

[rowidi1]

@Psotka43 no wlasnie, pierogi z mlekiem!!!!



[JakisElfiastyGruzin]

@Psotka43 eee... a jak?

[TheSofiamaria]

This meal is very common in Russia too, known as "vareniki". We made them with salted or sweet cottage cheese, mashed potatos w/fried onions, apples, cherries, mashrooms, cabbage etc. And don't forget to put some sour cream or melted butter on them! :)

[ajdpadbury]

@TheSofiamaria Thanks for commenting, I like butter or sour cream too:)

[1109natural]

those are good

[ajdpadbury]

@1109natural Thank you :)

[NEWSSELL]

Реклама хорошая, но есть это нельзя,... не вкусно.

[Mama061608]

@NEWSSELL :))))))))

[PandaPapanicolaou]

They look so delicious! I'll give it a try:-) What kind of cheese did you use?

[ajdpadbury]

@PandaPapanicolaou We used white stilton:)

[stairs021]

Wow those are nice and huge. Thx for sharing

[ajdpadbury]

@stairs021 Thanks for watching!

[emily7animals]

could you fry them instead of boiling?

[ajdpadbury]

@emily7animals We use white stilton but any white and crumbly cheese will do. You have to boil them in water first and then fry them in butter afterwards if you like.

[emily7animals]

what kind of cheese do you use?

[Sowyet]

@emily7animals parmezan - italian cheese

[ajdpadbury]

@coachbethea You are most welcome!

[mikeshairfliphot]

I'm doing a World History project, and I have to make this. Thank you so much for actually doing step by step, this is a life savor!

[ajdpadbury]

@mikeshairfliphot You are very welcome, thanks for commenting and I hope your pierogis turn out well!

[FretlessDeviant]

Polish food is the best, visiting Krakow and Warsaw this summer; can't wait to try the real deal!

[TheDobracena]

to jest pierogi ruskie, ja jestem wlochem i niestety nie znam dobrze tego.

[Feisty1967]

They look like mini-Cornish pasties.

[ajdpadbury]

@Feisty1967 They do look similar!

[xxremix1]

hmm do you know if pierogi's and piroshki's are the same thing xD?

[matuszplll]

1:14 wyglada jak ta jedna siostra co sie brylant umawia do kina :D padlem z krzesła :P

[TheManiek38]

@matuszplll ...hahhahhhaaaaa....dokładnie !!!!...to samo mi na mózg padło :D...pozdro...

[SpArKz6101]

Thanks! This explains a lot! Keep up the good work! :)

[familiakelarre]

[ajdpadbury]

@familiakelarre We put pepper in:)

[TunaTerrier]

Name of the song????

[ajdpadbury]

@TunaTerrier Too late I am guessing:)

[beczkulus]

sprzedaje polski przepis



[sk8hononey]

Im Polish and my grandma always is doing them on the 1st day of xmass <3

[ajdpadbury]

@sk8hononey We have them then too then with barszcz, I think it is tradition:)

[ttiiyy]

This is kind of strange and amazing at the same time. The Chinese make dumplings, too.

How did Polish first develop this kind of recipe?

[ajdpadbury]

@ttiiyy I am not sure on the history but I thing many cultures make their own versions:)

[matuszplll]

@ttiiyy

Oh man stupid or somethink?

The man who first developed Pierogi (dumplings) is man from Italy i don't know he is name but he made differents ones :) he doesn't use cottage cheese and patatoes (he used sauerkraut , meat and mushrooms i think)

But the Polish man developed that into a pierogi you can put patatoes and cottage cheese :)

Thumbs up if you LOVE pierogi(dumplings)

[ttiiyy]

@matuszplll LMAO Give me a break.  There's no reason to use the word stupid. It tells us something about your character and maturity. What are you? 4?

Why the hell should we all believe you? Grow up already.

[mariaswtluv87]

I tried the recipe and put my own twist on it. Fried them with mashed potatoes ragoo mixture and ground beef and then poured the ragoo mixture on top all my friends liked it .my first at making the dough.Thanks for letting me learn. your awesome .keep up the good work .I know i will never forget! Maria

[ajdpadbury]

@mariaswtluv87 I am really glad that they turned out ok!

[ooffsianka]

I hate them. I mean I hate version with potatoes and white cheese inside. I love all the others( meat, sauerkraut & mushrooms, strawberries, black berries)

[greatunclebulgaria]

Great video - easy to follow - will definitely try this recepie!!

Thanks for posting!

X

[ajdpadbury]

@greatunclebulgaria Thanks, I hope they turn out ok!

[adagrodziszcze]

I love pierogi.Pierogi ruskiepierogi with meat!

Yummy

[ajdpadbury]

@adagrodziszcze Meat and cabbage is tasty too, thanks for commenting:)

[adagrodziszcze]

@adagrodziszcze Umm..you're welcome :)

Umm..yeah i think it's tasty

[Feisty1967]

Do you not fry them as well? Surely they are better if you fry then afterwards.

[ajdpadbury]

@Feisty1967 Sometimes we do but usually we just melt butter on top:)

[lenjukins]

I'm 77 yrs old. My grandmother filled pierogi with meat (mix of hamburg, pork, egg, bread and God knows what else) which were and are still my favorites. Very few of my Polish acquaintances are familiar with this filling. Comments? In addition to potatoes she also filled them with farmer's cheese (good doused with sour cream), fruit (blueberries, apricots) and fried cabbage. All were fried in butter (not very healthy but I don't get them very often.) My daughters still make all of these.

[ajdpadbury]

@lenjukins Thanks for commenting and those sound like great fillings! Usually we have them ruskie style on Fridays when we do not eat meat:)

[karina2563]

wow

[ajdpadbury]

@karina2563 Thanks for watching!

[mohikaner2004]

Dobre opracowanie filmiku. Pierogi napewno pyszne! Apetyczne wykonanie i prezentacja.

[ajdpadbury]

@mohikaner2004 Dziękują!

[RAPTORCHICAGO]

@TheB3553485  bacon and onion :P smacznego

[wowninjee]

I like to sautee mine in butter for a few minutes after boiling to crisp them up a bit. Gives a nice butter flavor, and a nice texture. I've also (after boiling) brushed them with butter and grilled them for 2 minutes on each side.

They turn out awesome!

[ajdpadbury]

@wowninjee Sounds like a great way to have them!

[Lamento890]

Real polish food

[ajdpadbury]

@Lamento890 You cannot beat homemade, thanks for commenting:)

[ajdpadbury]

@TheB3553485 Some people like to fry them in butter and onions but I just put creme frais on top as it is more healthy!:)

[dandel75]

wieszco naucz sie najpierw wogule skladu pieroga nie mowiac o tymjek sie je robi a potem topokazuj powodzenia

[Piqus3]

@dandel75 wiesz co, naucz się najpierw pisać ciulu jeden, nie mówiąc już o składni i interpunkcji, a dopiero potem zamieszczaj komentarze. Pozdrowienia dla autora filmiku! ;)

[RAPTORCHICAGO]

@dandel75 naucz to sie pisac po polsku :P jesli tak samo robisz pierogi jak piszesz to nie mam wiecej pytan :) ja tez mieszkam w usa ponad 20 ale ciagle pamietam

[TheVittleVlog]

Nice vid...Well done!

[ajdpadbury]

@TheVittleVlog

[ajdpadbury]

@TheVittleVlog Thanks! Sorry, the comments are playing up today:)

[Beaston616]

Thank you very much for the video,

This has been a big help to me learning to cook some Pierogi

^^

Adam

[ajdpadbury]

Thanks and good luck, I hope they turn out ok!:)

[Beaston616]

@ajdpadbury

Thank you again,

They were a success, My house mates loved them!

[ajdpadbury]

Thanks Adam, I am glad they turned out ok!:)

[monkeybrain2007]

I love these so I am going to learn how to make them myself . thanks 4 the vid

[ajdpadbury]

Good luck, make a batch and freeze them as they are quite time-consuming, they freeze ok if you wrap them individually in clip wrap so they don't stick together:)

[tesch70]

That was very instructive. Thanks.

Will you then fry them in butter?

What other fillings do you espouse?

[ThePadburys]

Thankyou! My wife likes them with butter melting on top, personally I creme frais:)

[stickershomeplus]

Great recipe! I like them fried with onions and eaten with greens or peas nicely seasoned with garlic and herbs.

[ajdpadbury]

Thanks and that sounds like a great way to have them!:)

[ilovefilms94]

Your makin me hungry you 2 lol cool vid

[ajdpadbury]

Thanks Jonny, we have these every Friday - Dominika is a catholic so we don't eat meet that day:)

[KABOODLE562]

I've had the itch to make these for a long time now. It doesn't look too hard. My mom and I are going to spend and afternoon sometime making stuffed cabbage rolls. THAT takes a lot of work! I'm looking forward to it, though.

[ajdpadbury]

Sorry for the late reply, it does take a lot of work but it is worth it! Thanks for your comment:)

[lotuscross23]

wow i must be weird but whats a washing machine doing in the kitchen lmao i never scene such a thing

[coltsuperocean10]

lotuscross, a washing machine? We have servants to do "washing"!! I have never seen such a thing.

[ktkbar]

Sorry, I did not get it .. what is wrong with a washing machine in kitchen?

[boyfriendclub]

well, people don't usually do their laundry in their kitchens.

[dawidkiller]

Yeah we poles rule world's food lawl

[dawidkiller]

I myself prefer fried ones btw

[ajdpadbury]

We boil ours but I have tried fried ones in Toronto recently, they were great!:)

[Psylliumhead]

I'm not Polish, but I agree.

[lolafelix]

what cheese u use

[ajdpadbury]

My wife uses an English cheese called White Stilton.

[spajsboyz]

PIEROGI is name we use in Poland. I'm a Pole, and i LOVE pierogi. everyone does... :D

[ajdpadbury]

Thanks for commenting, my wife is a pole and we have homemade every Friday!:)

[spajsboyz]

So, you're one lucky guy , It would be wonderful to have fresh pierogi couple times in a week . I must say that pierogi that are sold in supermarket from the fridge are always bad taste, only home made are the choice

[St0pTheNoise]

You've never had a home made one then. Mrs. T's aint got nothin' on my grandmothers. She's polish. lol.

[ajdpadbury]

I will try and find those, good tip too about using feta:)

[swirlz1]

I know it's not traditional, but feta cheese is so good with the potato filling! And try adding some diced sauteed apples... Yum.

And you can freeze them after they're made by laying them (uncooked) on a cookie sheet, putting them in the freezer. When they're frozen through, put them in a freezer baggie.

[ajdpadbury]

Sounds like a nice idea with feta! We always freeze them by cutting strips of plastic bags otherwise they stick together, I never thought about the way you have suggested!:)

[jacuch46]

I just mean that the original pierogi ruskie (this kind with potatoes and cheese) filling consists of potatoes, cottage cheese, onions. other traditional kinds of pierogi are with meat, cabbage and mushrooms, bryndza (kind of cheese), lentils, strawberries and blueberries. try as many as possible :)

[jacuch46]

why do you all people use hard cheese for pierogi?! in the recipe there is white cottage cheese. i can't imagine making pierogi with this kind of cheese you used. and hot water is used for the dough instead of milk.

[ajdpadbury]

I am sure there are variations. In England we use a crumbly cheese called White Stilton, I can imagine cottage cheese being quite wet but I will give it a try, thanks for your comment:)

[lingling86]

The variety of cheese most commonly used for filling pierogi is a crumbly, semi-firm version of cottage cheese. It's known in Poland as Serowiec, or farmer's cheese in the U.S. and is used in much the same fashion as German Quark. If this particular variety is not available or doesn't quite fit your budget (it can be ridiculously expensive), substitute ricotta that has been drained of excess whey overnight in a cool place. This actually works best outside the refrigerator, preferably a basement

[icemom09]

In our area farmers cheese. Which is like dry cottage cheese:)

[ceeIoc]

whats the brand of refrigerated pierogies u can buy at the supermarket, they came in a clear bag? not Mrs T's

[ajdpadbury]

Sorry for the late reply:( I cannot help though!

[icemom09]

Poppy's?

[blackandgold51]

im gonna eat all of those up!

[ajdpadbury]

Thanks for your comment, we are having them for dinner tonight!:)

[bengaljmc]

I had some fantastic oven-baked pierogi in Warsaw. These ones were broccoli & cheese.

[ajdpadbury]

Thanks for your comment, I have never had them like that but it sounds tasty!:)

[jackmehoffer68]

I love 'em fried in butter with onions (carmelized tastes really good) and served with sour cream. Bardzo smaczne!!!!!!

Thanks so much for making this vid!!!!!!!!!

[ajdpadbury]

That sounds a really tasty way! thanks for your comment:)

[1herp1]

What do those things taste like? I can't imagine boiled mash & cheese. Interesting though. I may have to investigate.

[ajdpadbury]

They are very tasty and well worth an investigation!:)

[LaterMeansBrick]

It's worth a try. I will die one day in cause of eating an overdose of pierogi.

[lcfchumelcfc]

ruski are my fav!

[fehquig]

That's a lot of pierogies... Man, am I ever hungry now!!!

[ajdpadbury]

Oh my friend, I have just come back from Poland and I had all different kinds, cabbage, mushroom, blueberry ... you would have loved them!:)

[fehquig]

You describe a true feast! One day I'd like to get to Poland...

[Mombuck]

Now I can have pierogis every Friday like you do:) I won't have to buy them ever again-Thanks!

[ajdpadbury]

Thanks for your comment, glad we were able to help! My other half freezes them so we always have some put by!:)

[NewYorkGardener]

WOW, I can't believe the vidoe is been up for 6 months.

I think of this video a lot, and will make the pierogis one day. Lately my roomate has been catering when ever I have time for the kitchen.

Arthur

[ajdpadbury]

I am lucky enough to have pierogis every Friday, Dominika freezes batches in advance. I really appreciate the care and love that goes in to making them!:)

[denniabenghaly]

looks great.. but what kind of cheese would you recommend.. i've never had this before.. thanks you

[ajdpadbury]

Thanks for your comment. In Poland they use a white crumbly cheese so that it does not turn to string, in england we use either Cheshire, Wensleydale or white stilton:)

[stonescourt3]

my polish grandmother always used either pot cheese or farmer's cheese, whichever is available (typically farmer's cheese is easy to get in local groceries; pot cheese usually can be found in farmer's markets)

[ajdpadbury]

That is a good tip, thanks! Sorry it took so long to respond:)

[gdrozd555]

...also try this

Get a frying pan, put some butter on it, get it hot, throw in some bread crumbs and vegetta or salt until crumbs turn golden :)

Boil pierogis as normal and then dump them for a minute or so into this hot mix.

Now to the radical part

Try eating them with sour cream or Ketchup. Or both. Most polish people think this is disgrace but it tastes good.

[ajdpadbury]

Sounds good to me! I have ketchup on mine but my polish girlfriend thinks is is sacreledge to mess with their traditional dish! I wouldn't mind if someone was to change our roast beef or fish and chips in some way!:)
