Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 lb farmer's cheese
1 tbsp soft butter
4 eggs, separated
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:
Directions:
1. Combine cheese, butter, and egg yolks. Beat the egg whites until still. Alternating with the beaten egg whites, add the flour and salt to the cheese mixture. Mix lightly. Place dough onto lightly floured board. The dough is sticky, so flour your hands to avoid a mess!
2. Form into 3 long rolls approx. 1 inch wide. flatten the rolls slightly with the blade of a knife. Cut rolls into a slight angle at 2/3 inch pieces-the pierogi will look like small pillows.
3. Cook in batches in a large pot of boiling water. Pierogi will float to the top after about 3 min. Continue to cook another 3 min and check for they are done. The best way to check is to cut one in half and see if it's cooked through. The dough will be soft and cook through the middle-not like chewy half-cooked pasta. Cook for an additional few minutes if needed and remove from the pot with a slotted spoon and drain.

Toppings
Savory: pour melted butter on top and sprinkle with butter browned bread crumbs
Sweet: melt butter over pierogi and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar
