Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups fresh or thawed blueberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter for frying
  • Powdered sugar for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of gluten-free flour and a pinch of salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, and 1/2 cup of water.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour, mixing until a smooth dough forms. If needed, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is pliable but not sticky.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix 2 cups of fresh or thawed blueberries with 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Gently mash the blueberries slightly to release some juices but still keep some whole for texture.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out circles, approximately 3 inches in diameter.
  7. Place about a tablespoon of the blueberry filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together firmly to seal.
  8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the pierogi in batches into the water. Once they float to the surface, let them cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  9. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the boiled pierogi and fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  10. Transfer the crispy pierogi to a serving plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt for added indulgence.

Nutrition

Keywords: Be cautious not to overfill the pierogi, as this can make them difficult to seal. You can prepare the dough and filling ahead of time, storing them separately in the refrigerator until ready to assemble and cook.
