Directions:
In a deep bowl, combine flour and salt. Beat together egg, oil, and water. Add to flour mixture, stirring to make a soft dough.

On a lightly floured board, knead until smooth. Divide dough in half; cover and let rest 10 minutes.
On a lightly floured board roll dough very thin, working with half at a time. Cover the remaining dough to prevent it from drying out.
Cut into 3 (8cm) inch rounds and prepare the filling.

Combine onion, butter, mashed potatoes, cheese and salt and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly.
Place a spoonful of filling on each round; fold in half to form a half circle. Pinch edges together firmly with fingers making sure they are well sealed.

Cook pyrohy a few at a time, in a large pot of salted and boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes or until they rise to the top and are cooked through.

Personal Notes:
This recipe was published in "The Canadian Living Cookbook" in 1987. I started making perogies for our family and later Natalie and Lauren made perogies in their homes. I have experimented with many fillings, but the cheese and potatoe remain the favourite. Lauren has perfected a spelt flour recipe for her needs.
