"This is a combination of several recipes I have tried over the years. My family prefers these to the perogies bought in Polish bakeries. I also use a rice based "cheddar" to make it dairy free."

- Set aside, let cool to room temperature before using.
-
Dough:
- Mix flour and salt in a deep bowl.

- Roll dough thin on floured board.
- Cut dough using a round cookie cutter or drinking glass.
- Place spoonful of filling in each circle - fold in half.
- Press edges together with fingers. If dough does not stick, dampen edges slightly.
- Place on floured board and cover with damp towel to keep moist.
- Place perogies in pot of rapidly boiling salt water - do not over crowd pot.

- If desired, after boiling fry with butter and chopped onions until slightly browned.

Does the gluten free flour have to have xanthan gum in it? I make my own mix, and I didn't add any. While the dough rolled out OK, it fell apart as soon as I tried to fold it over the filling.

These are delicious! I made them for my Polush mother who is now gluten free. She hasn't had any in many years and really enjoyed these saying the filling was very "tasty". She used to make them a lot when I was a child. This is the first time I've made perogies and I discovered that they are very labour intensive but for special ocassions, they're a real treat. Thanks for the great recipe.Just one thing to note: I used 6 large potatoes and could have made another 30-40 perogies if I'd had more pastry. When I make them again, I'll only used 2 large potatoes. I'm sure it'll be plenty.Made for the Aus/NZ recipe swap #24 - Feb 2009.

I would caution everyone to use a GF flour like Cup4Cup, or perhaps whatever GF flour you use that DOES have Xanthan Gum in it, to take out 1/2 cup of the flour and replace it with 1/2 cup of Tapioca Starch. Tapioca starch gives ELASTICITY to dough and would greatly assist in this aspect of making pierogi, or ravioli, etc. The issue with GF flours is that they are missing what gives dough elasticity.

If I could give it a zero, I would. I'm an experienced cook. Dough was unusable, even for a gluten free formulation. Waste of time and ingredients.

Which gluten free flower did you use?
