egg that has been beaten in the lukewarm water. Mix all ingredients
and knead into a soft pliable dough. Add a little more flour if
necessary. Roll thin on cutting board and cut “rounds” of dough with
a glass or cookie cutter (approximately 3″ in diameter). Place a
little cabbage filling in each circle and fold over. Pinch edges of

for about 5 minutes (until the pierogi come to the top). Gently
remove and place in small amount of margarine in frying pan. Fry
until lightly brown, making sure pierogi is soft, not crisp.
