I totally agree, after you make your favourite recipes over and over again you can alter them as you know them off by heart and you are confident to make any changes and know they will work. Yes and baking needs to be spot on to work for sure. Thanks, I look forward to your posts!!!

Yes, European cooks had their recipes memorized, and I think always altered them as needed, that is why they could not provide a precise account of the ingredients. Actually, after a while, we all cook that way. Don't you agree. With baking though, it needs to be quite specific, to be successful. I need to work on that post….will do, for sure.

I cook them for as long as posted, since we eat most of them fresh, and freeze any leftovers. Also, I do not cook them again after freezing. Important thing is to make sure you cool them completely before freezing. I coat them with some canola oil, once they cool off slightly, so they don't stick, then I let them cool completely, but make sure you keep them covered so they don't dry up on you. Once totally cooled, I lay them flat, one dozen at a time, in a freezer ziplock bag, and freeze them. I thaw them in the same bag in the refrigerator, for at least 24 hours, then just warm them up on a pan, or microwave. My husband likes them fried, so I fry them with some butter or oil.

It's great they freeze well, sorry silly question but do I need to cook them as per your instructions then let them cool down then I freeze them in a zip lock bag? Also when I want to eat these do I just defrost these Varenyky and then do I reheat/boil them in warm water again? Thanks I am going to make these yummy Varenyky this weekend!

My mom only had white farmer's cheese and it tasted fine as well. Some people use cottage cheese. Please let me know how you liked them with the Feta cheese. Yellow or White American cheese, is a firm block of cheese, ususlly sliced, and mostly used on sandwiches, or for grilled cheese sandwiches. It is milder in flavor than Cheddar cheese. When you break up the slices into hot, cooked potatoes, it melts and blends nicely into the potatoes, enriching their flavor and giving them a rich golden color.
