I love Veranika. This is "soul" food for our family.

Learned of these from my great grandmother...she called them "cheese pockets". After boiling we fry them in butter and onions. Then serve them with fried onions and plenty of sour cream. Yummy!

In the summer season we use fresh sliced strawberries with a touch of sugar. The sauce we make is made with butter and flour melted in saucepan to that we add a can of carnation milk lots of pepper and stir till thickened. Yum yum so good!

Love these, grew up on it, my grandma used to make these, many memories!

My family always made the dough like noodle dough... letting it dry before cutting. Then find dry cottage cheese (we now use a Mexican cheese which almost like it), egg and chives. Cut them into rounds and place a tablespoon of mix and sea. While the Veranika is boiling we fry up onions, and ham. After the ham is done we make a gravy of the drippings from the ham and add the onions.
