Making pierogies from scratch with Ely Community Education
Students made more than 300 of the Polish dumplings
ELY - With deep respect and love for her Polish heritage, Doris Kolodji taught Ely Community Education students in making pierogies during a hands-on class last month at the Ely Senior Center.
Kolodji said her recipe for the pillowy, chewy, crispy Polish dumplings has been in the family for generations, “with a few alterations.” The class learned about pierogi history, some Polish culture and the secrets of successful pierogi creation.
“While perfecting the perogies’ technique takes time, these students seemed to catch on quickly,” she said.
Students had their choice of three fillings for their pierogies, homemade mashed potato, sauerkraut, and prunes.
“This enthusiastic class made more than 300 pierogies and enjoyed eating many of them,” Kolodji added.
