Cottage Cheese Perogies

This is my Grandma Barbra Visneski's Recipe

Dough:
2 cups Flour
2 Eggs
4 Tbs Sour Cream
3 Tbs Butter, melted
1/2 tsp Salt

Directions: Mix all except flour well. Then add flour mix with hands.

Filling:
1 med. pkg. Cottage Cheese
Chives &/or Onions, finely chopped (amt. according to taste)
1 Egg

Directions: Drain cottage cheese in strainer for at least 1/2 day. (I do mine in fridge overnight with a bowl under to catch drippings).Then mix all together.

Directions to put together: Roll Dough thin about 1/8 inch. use wide mouth glass or perogi utensil to cut circles. Spoon 1 Tbs of filling into middle of circle. fold circle in half. Then close ends with fork pressing down two sides. if not sticking together dip finger in water and put on both sides before folding in half. Freeze made perogies for at least 20 min. Then Boil for 5 min. or till they float. Then Fry in well buttered or oiled pan for about 15 min.

Lots of stuff to do with this... but are worth it all in the end.

Cottage Cheese Heath Benefit: The main health benefit is that cottage cheese is low in fat and carbs and very high in protein. A single serving of cottage cheese has up to fifteen grams of protein, much of it in the form of casein, a slow digesting form of protein. Although not as high in protein as meat and poultry, it’s one of the best non-meat sources of protein around.It is a good course of calcium, with Vitamin D. Calcium is important not only for building strong bones, but also for maintaining normal blood pressure. With around seventy grams per serving, cottage cheese can go a long ways towards meeting the daily calcium quota.The truth is that cottage cheese can prevent stomach disorders and even help with your bones as you get older, especially in women.

Cottage Cheese History: Cottage Cheese goes way back in history to the early Greeks and Egyptians. It's long been a favorite food in Europe, and the women of the American Colonies made it on their stovetops. In fact, a little known fact about cottage cheese is that's how it got its name. It was named "Cottage Cheese" because it was made in cottages, which are small country houses. The term was first used in 1848.
