Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.25 cups water
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, or cherries)
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water (for fruit filling)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cups sour cream or sweet cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, milk, and water.

Step 3

Mix until the dough starts to come together, then transfer it to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough rests, prepare the fruit filling. In a small saucepan, combine the fruit, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of water.

Step 5

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes jam-like in consistency. Set aside and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 6

After the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 7

Use a round cutter (about 3-4 inches in diameter) to cut out circles of dough.

Step 8

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the fruit filling onto the center of each dough circle.

Step 9

Fold the dough in half to enclose the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly with your fingers, then seal them further with the tines of a fork.

Step 10

Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the Wareneki into the water in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.

Step 11

Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 12

Optional: Melt the butter and drizzle it over the cooked Wareneki before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of sweet cream on the side.
