Effortless Blueberry Pierogi z Jagodami (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Toppings

01 - Sour cream for dipping
02 - A handful of fresh blueberries to sprinkle on top
03 - White sugar, just add as much as you like

→ Filling

04 - 36 grams regular white sugar
05 - 8 grams of flour, any all-purpose kind
06 - 150 grams blueberries, can be frozen or fresh

→ Dough

07 - 28 grams plain unsalted butter
08 - 180 milliliters hot water, just boiled
09 - A pinch of salt
10 - 312 grams plain flour

# Instructions:

01 - Dish them up hot and top with sour cream. Give them a dusting of sugar and some blueberries if you want it extra special.
02 - Heat a big pot of salted water til it bubbles. Drop in the dumplings in a few rounds so they don't crowd. Let them float up and keep them going another couple of minutes. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon when done.
03 - Pop about a teaspoon of the blueberry mix right in the middle of every dough circle. Fold each into a little half-moon and press the sides together real good. Leave them on a floured board so they don't stick.
04 - Split up the dough into a few chunks, three or four’s good. Roll each one flat with some flour underneath. Use the rim of a little glass to press out circles from the dough.
05 - Fresh blueberries? Gently give them a rinse and pat dry. Toss the berries into a bowl, shake on the flour and white sugar, then stir everything up. If you’re using frozen berries, just use them as is.
06 - Dump the flour into a big bowl, toss in your salt. Stir melted butter into the hot water and slowly drizzle that into the flour, mixing as you go. Work the dough on a floured counter for about 7 minutes ’til it’s nice and smooth and not sticky. Add flour if it’s too tacky. Drape a wet towel over it and let it sit for half an hour.

# Notes:

01 - Drop your fresh blueberries in cold water for a bit. It keeps them nice and plump.
02 - Spend enough time kneading your dough so it’s soft and tough enough to handle.
03 - Only cook a few at a time or you’ll end up with a sticky mess.
04 - Go fancy—shake on some powdered sugar and tuck in some mint before serving.
