  • The dough for vareniki is very easy to make: 1. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the salt, and pour in the warm milk. 2. Knead a firm dough — it should be springy and elastic. 3. Let the dough rest in a cool spot for 15–20 minutes. The filling is just as easy: 1. Mash the farmer cheese with the sugar. 2. Add the cherries in any form — fresh, frozen, or even canned all work. Shape the vareniki: 1. Roll out the dough and cut out rounds. 2. Place the filling in the center of each round. 3. Pinch the edges closed to form a dumpling. The final step is cooking: 1. Drop the vareniki into boiling water. 2. About 5 minutes is enough for them to cook through. 3. Arrange the finished dumplings neatly on plates, garnish with cherries, and serve. Enjoy!
