How to Make Ukrainian Blueberry Varenyky W Blueberry Sauce Perogy Pierogi
- **Blueberry Sauce:**
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups fresh or frozen wild blueberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
- Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/4 cup water.
- Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries are soft and the sauce has thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Set aside to cool.
- **Varenyky Dough:**
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gradually add ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms (about 1/4 - 1/2 cup).
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use a 3-inch cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles.
- **Filling:** In a small bowl, gently toss 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of the sugar-flour mixture and 1 tablespoon of blueberries in the center of each dough circle.
- Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to form a half-moon shape, pressing firmly to seal.
- Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- **Cooking:** Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the varenyky in batches, for about 10 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving plate.
- Drizzle with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Serve immediately with the blueberry sauce and a dollop of sour cream (optional).
