Instructions

Prepare Station
Gather and weigh all ingredients; set out a fork, bowl, knife, pot, slotted spoon, colander, skillet, and serving bowls. · 4 min
What to look for: All ingredients measured and tools within reach.
Mash Cheese
Drain the well-chilled cottage cheese, place it in the bowl, and mash with a fork until the curds look fine and nearly smooth. · 4 min
What to look for: Cheese looks fine, moist, and mostly smooth.
Mix Sweet Base
Add the egg, 30 g sugar, vanilla sugar, and 1 pinch salt to the cheese; mix until creamy and evenly sweetened. · 3 min
What to look for: Mixture is creamy with no streaks of egg.
Form Dough
Add 160 g wheat flour in 3 additions, mixing lightly after each, until a soft dough forms that is barely sticky. · 5 min
What to look for: Dough holds together but still feels soft.
Cut Dumplings
Dust the board with the remaining flour, roll the dough into a 2 cm thick log, and cut it diagonally into 3-4 cm pieces. · 6 min
What to look for: Pieces are soft, rustic, and lightly floured.
Boil Water
Boil the water with the remaining salt in a wide pot, then lower to a gentle boil so the surface trembles rather than rolls hard. · 8 min
What to look for: Water bubbles gently without violent rolling.
Cook Pierogi
Cook the pierogi in 2 batches for 3-4 minutes after they float, lifting them out gently with a slotted spoon to drain. · 8 min
What to look for: Dumplings float and look slightly puffed.
Brown Breadcrumb
Melt the butter in a skillet, add the breadcrumb, and fry until golden and fragrant, stirring so the crumbs do not scorch. · 4 min
What to look for: Breadcrumb is golden, buttery, and aromatic.
Sweeten Cream
Stir the sour cream with the remaining 20 g sugar until smooth, keeping it cool for spooning over the hot dumplings. · 2 min
What to look for: Cream is glossy and sugar is dissolved.
Serve Warm
Serve the warm leniwe in bowls, topped with golden buttered breadcrumb and spoonfuls of sweetened sour cream. · 1 min
