Ingredients

1/2 cup cream-style cottage cheese (or sour cream, start with 1/3 cup)

1/4 cup milk

1 large egg

1 tablespoon oil

1/2 cup brown rice flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 cup tapioca starch

2 tablespoons potato starch

2 tablespoons sweet rice flour

1 teaspoon xanthan gum

1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling of your choice (e.g., mashed potatoes, cheese, onions)

A little brown rice flour for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Prepare the dough: Blend cottage cheese, egg, milk, and oil until smooth.

  • Mix dry ingredients: In a stand mixer, combine all dry ingredients (brown rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca starch, potato starch, sweet rice flour, xanthan gum, and salt).

  • Combine wet and dry ingredients: Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until the dough forms. Make sure the dough is soft but not too sticky.

  • Roll the dough: Roll the dough into a golf-ball-sized ball and place it on a sheet of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic over and roll out the dough thin, about 1/16 inch thick.

  • Fill the perogies: Spoon your desired filling (mashed potatoes, cheese, onions, etc.) onto one half of the dough oval.

  • Seal the perogies: Wet the edges of the dough with water, fold the dough over the filling, and press to seal. Use a round cutter for a clean edge.

  • Refrigerate: Place the perogies on a baking pan lined with cloth and refrigerate.

  • Cook the perogies: Boil water with salt and drop a few perogies at a time into the water. Stir gently. Once they float, they are done.

  • Serve: Remove perogies with a slotted spoon and serve with butter or sauce.

Notes

  • Dough Texture: If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk or oil to soften it.

  • Filling Variations: Try mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese, or ground meat with onions and spices for a savory option. Sweet versions can include fruits or sweetened cheese.

  • Freezing: Freeze uncooked perogies on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip-top bag once frozen. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
