As the Christmas season approaches, it’s traditional to make Polish Pierogi for Christmas Eve. This year may be an exception for us, as I’m having a difficult time finding our favorite Farmer’s Cheese.

Whatever type of cheese or filling you use, here’s a favorite family recipe for authentic easy Pierogi dough.
