Step 4:
Pour in 250 ml (about 1 cup) of warm boiled water and whisk thoroughly until smooth.
-
Step 5:
Sift in about 550 g of flour a little at a time, mixing well.
-
Step 6:
Bring the dough together by hand—it should hold together—and gather it into a ball.

Put the dough in a plastic bag for thirty minutes.

Step 10:
Add two or three tablespoons of sugar to the cheese.

Step 11:
Crack one egg into the cheese and mix everything well with a fork.

Step 12:
After half an hour, take the dough out of the bag and knead it again.
-
Step 13:
Turn the elastic dough out onto a floured counter and cut it into three roughly equal pieces.
-
Step 14:
Roll each piece out thin with a rolling pin.
-
Step 15:
Use a suitable glass to cut out rounds for the vareniki.
-
Step 16:
Spoon a portion of the cheese filling onto each round.
-
Step 17:
Pinch the edges of each varenik together and crimp them neatly.
-
Step 18:
Set the finished vareniki on a large floured cutting board, then move most of them to a plastic bag and freeze.

Step 19:
Drop as many vareniki as you want into a pot of boiling salted water, cover, and cook for about fifteen minutes.
-
Step 20:
Plate the vareniki and serve with sour cream or jam, however you like. Simple, homemade, and delicious—enjoy, dear friends!
- Cheese vareniki! I spent my whole childhood at my grandmother's. She wasn't a great cook, but she loved making vareniki with farmer cheese. Her sister, who kept a cow, supplied the main ingredient. What gave the filling its special flavor was vanilla sugar, sold in little packets. Years later I read online that vanillin is reminiscent of mother's milk, which is supposedly why it's so popular as a flavoring. It's all very simple—shall we get started?
