How to Make Pierogi Leniwe Lazy Polish Ravioli Sweet Cheese Version

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and melted butter. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  3. Add the farmer cheese and sugar to the dough and gently incorporate until evenly distributed.
  4. Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead gently for 2-3 minutes, just until smooth.
  5. Roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a 2-3 inch cutter or a knife to cut out individual pierogi.
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the pierogi into the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
  7. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the cooked pierogi from the water using a slotted spoon and gently place them onto a plate.
  9. Top the pierogi generously with the browned breadcrumbs and serve immediately. Enjoy!
