Things You'll Need:
- 4 Cups all purpose flour
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- ½ Cup of water or less
- 1 Egg white
- 1 Large pot of boiling salted water
-
Step 1
Place flour in a large, wide bowl. Make a hole in the center of the flour and add the two large eggs and salt to the center of the bowl.
-
Step 2
Mix the eggs and salt together with your hands, then slowly incorporate the flour.
-
Step 3
Add only enough water to make a medium stiff dough; knead well on a floured board.
-
Step 4
Divide the dough in half, roll out very thin, and cut the dough in 2 x 2 inch squares.
-
Step 5
Place one teaspoon of filling on the center of each square. Then brush the edges of the square with egg white.
-
Step 6
Pull up one corner of the peroghi and seal edges by pinching together; peroghi should be triangle shaped.
-
Step 7
Drop a few peroghi at a time into the boiling water. Boil until peroghi rise to the top, about ten minutes.
-
Step 8
Drain peroghi well and fry in onions and butter until browned. This is the traditional way peroghi are served at Christmas.
