PIROHY 
1 c. flour
About 4 tbsp. water
1 egg

Mix flour and egg with enough water to make a soft dough; knead well. Roll out on floured board until thin. Cut into squares. Place 1 teaspoon filling on each square. Fold in half, making a triangle. Pinch edges well to keep filling inside. Drop into boiling salted water and cook until they rise to surface. Cook 5 minutes longer. Rinse in colander with hot water. Drain. Pour melted butter over pirohy and serve.

CHEESE FILLING: 1/2 cup dry cottage cheese, 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon butter and pinch of salt. Mix together.

POTATO FILLING: 1 large potato, cooked and mashed. Add 1 tablespoon butter. (Optional: grated cheese to taste.)

Lekvar may be used as filling. Cooked sauerkraut may also be used as filling. Drain and rinse sauerkraut in cold water. Brown diced onion in shortening, add sauerkraut. Cook for a few minutes.
