Perishke
 
 
Recipe type: Sidedish
Cuisine: Ukrainian
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Bring the edges together and pinch to seal creating a tiny bun.
  3. Place into a lightly buttered pan, sealed edge down.
  4. Have the oven preheated to 350 degrees.
  5. Once the pan is full of Perishke bake immediately until golden brown, about 23 - 25 minutes.
  6. Brush with melted butter and cool.
  7. The idea is to work quickly as you do not want the buns to rise.
  8. Repeat until all your dough is used.
  9. Once the Perishke are baked they can be frozen or eaten.
  10. I like to remove them from the container to cool then, this prevents the bottoms from becoming soggy.
  11. I place them back into the tins to freeze.
  12. To finish the Perishke toss with whipping cream and fresh chopped dill and heat in the oven for 15 minutes.
