🧾 Ingredients for Blueberry Dumplings Pierogi
For the Dough:
-
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
-
- 1/2 tsp salt
-
- 1 large egg
-
- 1/2 cup warm water
-
- 2 tbsp melted butter
For the Blueberry Filling:
-
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
-
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
- 1 tsp lemon juice
-
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
For Serving:
-
- Sour cream or whipped cream
-

Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg, warm water, and melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a clean towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
In a bowl, gently toss blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. If using frozen berries, thaw and drain well to avoid watery filling.
Divide dough in half. Roll out one portion on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 3-inch round cutter or glass to cut circles.
Add 1–2 teaspoons of filling to each dough circle. Fold into a half-moon, pressing the edges to seal. Crimp edges with a fork to secure tightly.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add pierogi in batches. Cook for 3–5 minutes or until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Fry pierogi on each side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
