Notes
Freezing Instructions:
- Shorten the boiling time for pierogi that you intend to freeze by two minutes .
- Remove the pierogi to a drying rack or baking sheet. Allow to dry to the touch.
- Then, put them on a plastic cutting board or a parchment covered baking sheet. Place them side-by-side, not overlapping.
- Put the baking sheet in your freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to to allow their surface to get hard.
- Once the pierogi surfaces are hard, pack them in a container or plastic bag. Remove as much air as possible so they don’t dry out.
- Back into the freezer to freeze completely.
- Don’t forget to date them and label with what filling is inside.
