Steps:
- To make the dough, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the soft butter and evaporated milk; stir gently until all the liquid is absorbed. Add water only as needed, kneading continuously until dough sticks together. Place dough into a greased bowl, turn to coat, and let rest for 30 minutes.
- To make the potato filling, place potatoes into a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Melt 1/2 cup butter in a medium skillet, over medium heat. Saute onions in butter until tender. Mix the onions into the potatoes along with the cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To make the sauerkraut and cabbage filling, pour the drained sauerkraut into a large saucepan. In a medium skillet, saute 2 onions in 1/2 cup butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir the onions into the sauerkraut along with the cabbage and chicken bouillon cube. Cook over low heat until liquid evaporates. Season with pepper and remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool, then run through a grinder or food processor.
- Remove the dough from the bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into 3 inch circles. Place one tablespoon of filling onto one side of the circle. Fold the other half over and press the edges to seal. Place finished dumplings onto a floured tray and keep covered.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop 10 or so dumplings into the water at a time. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, then remove to a colander to drain. Place finished dumplings onto a lightly oiled dish and turn them to coat with a thin layer. This will keep them from sticking together. Serve dumplings with fried onions and sour cream. Cooled dumplings also can be fried in oil and butter for a nice crispy surface.

UKRAINIAN PEROGIES, FOR BEGINNERS
Nothing is better than a fresh perogy, stolen from the bowl just after it has been cooked. Once a year, our family would spend a whole Saturday making these so we would have a stash to freeze and use for the next year. Fairly easy to make, but the instructions are just very descriptive.

Steps:
- Dough--------------.
- Mix dough ingredients together.
- You may have to add more liquid or flour to make the dough soft and somewhat sticky.
- Turn onto a floured surface and knead more flour into dough- just enough to make it easier to handle.
- The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Do not over-knead.
- Place dough in an oiled bowl.
- Cover and let rest for 30 minuets.
- Filling-----------.
- Cook onion in butter.
- Mix with potatoes, and add cheese while the mixture is still hot.
- You may substitute Cheez Whiz for the cheddar.
- Let filling cool before using (place in fridge.) If you are using the alternate filling, simply mix those ingredients together.
- Manufacturing--------.
- Set a large pot of water to boil.
- Form walnut-sized balls of the filling.
- Roll out dough on floured surface fairly thinly (3 millimeters, or 0.125 inch).
- You will probably need to add flour as you roll.
- Cut out circles approximately 7 1/2 centimeters (3 inches) in diameter (a wider-mouthed glass should do fine.) Press scraps into a ball.
- Place filling ball in center of dough circle.
- If the dough has a less-floury side, keep that side up.
- Fold dough over ball, and pinch edges to form a half circle.
- To prevent perogies with"horns", I pinch at the top ("90 degree mark") of the perogy first, then pinch at the 180 and degree edges, working up to the 90 degree mark.
- You can cheat pinching the perogies by smearing water on the filling side of the dough at the edges, and keep your fingers floured when you pinch (on the non-filling side.) In order to prevent perogies from drying out, keep finished perogies on a floured surface, and cover with a floured clean dishcloth.
- Place several perogies in boiling water.
- Stir once, gently with a slotted spoon.
- Perogies are done when they float for a minute (this will take 2-3 minutes).
- Melt about 1/2 cup of butter or margarine in microwave.
- Rescue and drain the perogies with the slotted spoon.
- Place in a bowl, drizzle with some melted butter, and gently shake to distribute the butter.
- Cook, drain, and drizzle the other perogies in the same manner.
- *Platzkies (pronounced "plutch-keys"): (The scrap dough is not tender enough to make into perogies, but make good"dumplings" by themselves.) Roll out scraps to approxamitely the same thickness as before.
- Add minimal flour, and handle dough as little as possible.
- Try to keep edges even.
- Cut dough with a knife into strips about 8 cm (3 inches) wide.
- Cut each strip into several triangles and/or squares.
- Cook strips in water until they float.
- Repeat draining and drizzling treatment as with perogies.
UKRAINIAN PIEROGHI
My next door neighbor taught me how to make these when I used to babysit her kids. Her parents were from Ukraine and this is what they made. They are scrumptious...way better than the frozen kind.
