Does anyone have recipe for homemade pierogi? You can buy them in bags ready to fry, but I would like to know how to make my own.

From my favorite cooking site: Allrecipes - Recipe Search (http://allrecipes.com/Search/Recipes.aspx?WithTerm=pierogi)
Read the reviews to see if the recipe matches what you are expecting.

They are a real chore to make.

Hello! Pierogi are much easier to make if you're working with great dough. This is the best pierogi/vareniki dough recipe I've found:
