Ingredients

- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 1 cup Mushrooms
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- to taste Black pepper

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent.
- Add mushrooms and cook until softened. Stir in sauerkraut and season with black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a round cutter or glass.
- Place a spoonful of the sauerkraut and mushroom filling in the center of each circle. Fold and seal the edges tightly.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add pierogi in batches and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the top.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain briefly. Optionally, pan-fry in a skillet with a little butter until golden brown.
- Serve warm with sour cream if desired.
Notes
- You can freeze uncooked pierogi for later use. Just make sure to separate them with parchment paper.
