I love evernote....
2-3 cups mixture of all-purpose flour and bread flour (1:1 ratio)
1 large egg
1/2 cup full-fat plain kefir
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Put about 2 cups of the flour mixture into a mixing bowl and make a well in the middle.
Add the baking soda, salt, and egg to the well and mix.
As you mix the dry ingredients with the egg, gradually add the kefir, mix everything together.
That is the important stuff for the dough. Then the other thing that I get yelled at about is when boiling them. Bring the water to a rolling boil, with a little vegitable oil in it (helps prevent them from sticking together) add salt once it is at a rolling boil. Place them in the water and let boil for 1 minute. Pull them out using a slotted spoon or what have you, and place them on a plate with little slabs of butter on it. Once you have them all out place additional slabs of butter through out them and let it melt for a few minutes. Once the butter has melted and you have a nice and hot pan place butter in the pan and put the perogis on it and brown them in the butter on the pan.
