Subject: Hi
Hi, I have been looking for a recipe for Pierogies, or Progies. It is
a Polish dish. They are little dough filled thing like a pizza pockets
but has potatoes and cheese or potatoes and several other things. Very
good fried with sour cream or boiled. I hope you can help me out.
Thanks,
Phyllis
Hi Phyllis,
See below for some recipes.
Phaed
Pierogies
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
Sift flour, baking powder, add egg and water to make a soft dough.
Turn on lightly floured board and knead gently five (5) minutes.
Allow to stand about ten (10) minutes before rolling. Roll dough
very thin, cut in two-inch squares. Place a teaspoon of filling
(see below) in center and fold the corners, seal edges well by
pinching, then follow one of the following methods:
FRIED: Fry in deep fat, serve hot or cold, delicious if sprinkled
with sour cream or melted butter.
BOILED: Cook in boiling water, allow to simmer until they float to
the top, takes about five minutes. Drain. Fry chopped onion in butter
and pour over them.
BAKED: On a greased cookie sheet, scalded with boiling water and
fried onions.
Choices for pierogie fillings:
Potato filling: Mash four medium cooked potatoes, salt and add two
ounces sharp cheese. Combine ingredients. (this is by far the most
popular filling)
Cheese filling: 1/2 lb. dry cottage cheese. Mix well with 1 beaten egg.
Prune filling: 1/2 lb. prunes, seeded, cooked, and mashed. ... Ok, this
one I've never tried.
Cabbage filling: 1 1-lb. head of cabbage, chopped fine. 1 medium onion,
chopped fine. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 2 tbsps shortening. Saute onion in
shortening. Add cabbage. Fry slowly until browned.
Sauerkraut filling: 1 small can sauerkraut, browned in butter and seasoned.
--------------------------------
Potato Pierogis
4 servings
27 minutes
(15 min prep, 12 min cooking)
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon soft butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4-1 cup warm milk
---Filling---
2 cups mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons butter (for frying)
1. Sift flour, mix with salt, butter and eggs.
2. Add warm milk to make a soft dough.
3. Roll out dough on floured surface.
4. Roll to about 1/8 inch thickness.
5. Cut in 2inch squares.
6. Put 1 t filling on each.
7. Fold in 1/2 to make a triangle.
8. Pinch edges.
9. Drop into boiling water until they float.
10. Drain.
11. Fry briefly in the butter.
------------------------------------
How to Make Pierogies
Here's How:
Peel and boil 5 lbs of potatoes until soft.
Finely chop 1 large onion and saute in butter until soft and translucent.
Grate 8oz sharp cheddar cheese.
Mash the potatoes along with the onion mixture, cheese and salt and pepper
to taste.
Let the potato mixture cool and then form into 1" balls.
To prepare the pierogie dough, mix together 2 cups of flour with 1/2 tsp.
salt.
Beat together 1 egg and 1 Tbsp. oil and add all at once to the flour
mixture.
Add 1/2 cup very hot water and work until the dough loses most of its
stickiness.
Roll the dough on a floured board or countertop until 1/8" thick.
Cut 3" circles of dough with a glass or cookie cutter.
Place a potato ball on each dough round and fold the dough over forming
a semi-circle.
Press the edges together with the tines of a fork.
Boil pierogies a few at a time in a large pot of water. They are done when
they float to the top.
Rinse in cool water and let dry.
Saute chopped onions together in a large pan until onions are soft. Then
add pierogies and pan fry until lightly crispy.
Tips:
If you are having a hard time getting the edges to stick together, you may
have too much flour in the dough. Add a little water to help you get a good
seal.
If you don't want to cook all of the pierogies right away, you can refrigerate
them (uncooked) for several days or freeze them for up to several months.
You can fill pierogies with pretty much anything you want, though potato
and cheese is the most common. Sweet pierogies are often filled with a
prune mixture.

Recipe for Hurka
Hungarian Hurka
8 cups rice cooked only until about 1/2 done
3 large onions, chopped and sautéed
6 garlic cloves chopped (add to onions when almost done)
1/4 cup or more marjoram (will lose flavor if frozen so we always put
in more)
ground pepper to taste (if you like it spicy put in more)
salt to taste
1 large pork shoulder or two halves (leave fat on so sausage isn’t
dry skin, is good too)
cook pork in water with onions, garlic, salt and pepper until well
done; cool
we used to make it with pigs head and pork liver but these are hard
to come by
grind using large blade in meat grinder
broth ( Boil down broth pork is cooked in and add some to mixture
until moist)
Can add white wine also
Ingredients can be increased or decreased according to taste
Mix all together keep tasting and adding seasoning until you like it.
Use sausage maker, you will need good casings
Roll in circle as big as you wish
Bake in oven in cast iron pan flip when bottom gets nice and brown.
Best when nice and crisp.
My sister and I just got together and made a big batch of this
Hungarian comfort food.

Hello Hillary,
Well, I'm familiar with the Church's Chicken chain, but I've never eaten
their greens.
However, I've lived in Mississippi all of my life, so I'm very familiar
with greens,particularly turnip greens, mustard greens, and collard greens.
Yum!
The recipes below are pretty typical. I don't know what Church's means by
"seasoned", but around here it means that you cook 'em up with a chunk of
salt pork, hog jowls, side meat, streak 'o lean, ham hocks, bacon, or the
like. I personally dislike the tendency to put sugar in everything, so I
would leave that out, but to each his own. Don't forget the Southern style
cornbread ( No sugar!).
Phaed
Southern Collard Greens
Ingredients :
1 lg. bunch fresh collards
1 tsp. sugar
Salt to taste
1/4 c. bacon drippings
1 sm. ham hock or salt jowl
Preparation :
Wash collards thoroughly; chop. Cover meat completely with water
and cook until tender in large pot. Add bacon grease. Salt to
taste, cook until tender. Yield: 4 servings.
----------------------------------
Mustard And Collard Greens
Ingredients :
2 smoked ham hocks
Water
3 to 3 1/2 lb. mustard greens
3 1/2 to 4 lb. collard greens
2 tsp. sugar
3 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Preparation :
Place ham hocks in a large saucepot or Dutch oven; cover with
water and cook, covered, over moderately low heat (about 225
degrees) 2 hours. While ham is cooking, remove stems from greens
and tear leaves into fairly large pieces; rinse greens several times
in warm salted water and drain well. Stir sugar, salt and pepper
into water with ham hocks. Add enough greens to fill pot; cover,
and when greens shrink, add more, stirring occasionally, until all
the greens are added. Cook greens for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours,
depending on the tenderness of the greens. Count the cooking time
from the time you add the first greens. Remove the meat from the
ham hocks and serve some of the ham with each portion of greens. If
desired, greens may be prepared a day ahead and reheated just before
dinner. Makes 8 servings.
----------------------------------
Turnip And Mustard Greens
Ingredients :
1 lb. salt pork
2 bunches turnip greens
2 bunches mustard greens
1 tbsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
Preparation :
Put meat in large pot. Cook about 30 minutes. Wash greens while
meat is cooking, then add to pot. Add salt and sugar. Cook until
done and greens are tender.
----------------------------------
Fresh Greens (Collards-Mustard-Turnips)
Ingredients :
Wash greens and pull from stem
Fresh garlic
Ham hocks or salt pork
Preparation :
Dice up garlic in pan with ham hocks or salt pork. Brown meat on
both sides with a little shortening in pan. Add water 3/4 in the
pan and simmer. Add greens in the pot and put lid on so the greens
will cook down in order to get all your greens in the pot (you might
have to add more water to the pot so that your greens will stay
moist - also you can add garlic, salt and pepper as they are
cooking). Greens are done when you can stick a fork through them
and they feel or taste tender.

good morning, I am looking for a receipe for grapenut custard pudding.
All the receipes i have found omit the custard , thanks
Hello BSC,
Hard for me to see how you could have a recipe at all without custard. The eggs, sugar, and milk are what makes the custard.
Custard's not an ingredient that you add separately. The only way you could omit the custard would be to omit the eggs,
and then you'd just have a bowl of grape nuts with milk and sugar. Three recipes below.
Phaed
Grapenut Custard Pudding
Ingredients :
2 1/2 c. milk
4 eggs
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt
1 handful raisins if you like

Preparation :
Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla. Heat milk until skin forms on top
(scalded); add to egg and sugar mixture. Pour into casserole dish
and sprinkle 2 or 3 handfuls of Grapenuts. Bake in a 350 degree
oven for about 40 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Put
casserole dish in a pan of hot water.
