Mom's tips for pierogi...good size-3 3/4" round. Use lots of flour on surface that you lay the made pierogis on..even rub a little flour on pierogi. HANDLE CAREFULLY! After sealing pierogi..stretch VERY CAREFULLY. If pierogi won't close good use a speck of water..but wipe hands dry.



  


After making pierogi, boil 8-10 minutes  (about 12 at a time depending on pan size)--spray cookie sheet with Pam..layer pierogi--put wax paper in between, spray each pierogi with Pam for each layer before putting wax paper in .  Fry in butter and bread,  crumbs.  HANDLE CAREFULLY!  If you freeze them, (as I always do--after getting my belly full of fresh ones)...freeze them after boiling.  Let them cool.  Then fry them when you take them out to use.
