Homemade Pierogi Dough

Ingredients

• 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup butter, room temperature

Directions

1. To make the dough: Mix together the flour and salt. Add the egg to the flour and combine. The dough will be quite clumpy at this stage.
2. Work in the sour cream and soft butter until the dough comes together in a slightly rough, slightly sticky ball.
3. Using just your fingertips, knead and fold the dough without adding additional flour until the dough becomes less sticky but still quite moist.
4. Wrap the dough well in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes, or up to 48 hours.
