hmmmmm, I've never seen a recipe for the dough just using sour cream and flour.....

Nan

My mom would also fry onions for a topping for the potato or cabbage perogies. Yummy

I am Ukrainian also and my dough just doesn't compare to my Mothers. It was always perfect. One of my favorite fillings is an Italian plum or cherries. To die for!! Lovely fond memories. In Ukrainian we call them Pyrohy or Varenyky. Merry Christmas, Sophie.

My Nebraska relatives call them runzas and they're a tradition at Christmastime for at least one of my older cousins, who has a huge family. The filling I use is hamburger, cabbage and onion with salt, pepper and a little tabasco sauce. I kind of doubt the tabasco is traditional. The dough I use has cream cheese and is very easy to handle. I haven't made them in years, but this thread makes me want some. It's interesting that many different cultures have similar things by various names, such as empanadas and ravioli and wontons. They are many variations, but the concept of a dough enclosing a filling is very popular.

I'm posting on here weeks late because I was just browsing the recipe threads looking for cooking inspiration, and I'm glad I did!

Yes, Mrs. T's are very good! (Our WalMart Supercenter carries Mrs. T's.) I remember my very elderly aunt making tables full of these. I think that her recipe was a basic noodle dough with the potato/cheese filling, then boiled and then kept warm in skillets of butter - served with sour cream on the tops. I tried making them once and they were as big as footballs - LOL
