Perishke
Recipe type: Sidedish
Cuisine: Ukrainian
- Dough:
- ½ cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 2 packages of yeast
- Combine the above and add to:
- 1½ cups of milk, lightly warmed
- ½ cup of oil
- ½ cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 3 eggs - beaten
- 5 - 6 cups of flour
- Combine the dough and let stand for 15 minutes.
- Filling:
- Dry curd cottage cheese - 4 cups
- 2 egg yolks
- fresh dill
- a generous pinch of salt
- Stir the filling ingredients well to combine.
- whipping cream to finish
- 3 tablespoons of butter - melted
- Pinch off a walnut sized piece of dough and using a rolling pin roll out a nice small 1½ inch circle. Fill with a tablespoon of filling.
- Bring the edges together and pinch to seal creating a tiny bun.
- Place into a lightly buttered pan, sealed edge down.
- Have the oven preheated to 350 degrees.
- Once the pan is full of Perishke bake immediately until golden brown, about 23 - 25 minutes.
- Brush with melted butter and cool.
- The idea is to work quickly as you do not want the buns to rise.
- Repeat until all your dough is used.
- Once the Perishke are baked they can be frozen or eaten.
- I like to remove them from the container to cool then, this prevents the bottoms from becoming soggy.
- I place them back into the tins to freeze.
- To finish the Perishke toss with whipping cream and fresh chopped dill and heat in the oven for 15 minutes.
