Vareniki are plump, half-moon dumplings filled with mashed potatoes, farmer’s cheese, or fruit, boiled and glossed with butter. Softer and more generous than pelmeni, they are pure, pillowy comfort.
Sweet or savory, vareniki are served with sour cream, fried onions, or jam, depending on the filling. Families gather to pinch them by the hundred, and they freeze perfectly for future cravings.
