Varenyky with cherries(Varenyky is plural form of the word varenyk, the second syllable is stressed. To tell you the truth, it's one of my favorite dishes. I think I could eat varenyks with cherries all the time.)
400g of flour Remove stones out of the cherries. Mix with sugar, potato flour, and let the juice flow out. Knead the dough out of water, egg, flour, butter and salt. Knead thoroughly, then cover with a hot pot turned upside down and and let it stay for approximately 10 minutes. Then cut the dough into 3 equal parts. Shape each of the parts into a roll as thick as a finger, and cut into pieces of the same thickness. Shape each of these small pieces into flat round shapes (like scones). Do this on the board sifted with flour. Put 3 or four cherries onto each of the scones. Then bring together the opposite edges of a scone and pinch them so that they don't come apart. When you have a closed semicircular shape with the filling inside, it is the varenyk. Fill a big pot with water, add a little salt to it and bring to boil. Put the varenyks into the boiling water and boil them for 5 or 7 minutes. Serve in a dish, chilled, in sour cream.
