Lazy Pierogi are actually dumplings similar to kartoflane kluski, except dry curd or farmers cheese or ricotta is incorporated into the dough instead of potatoes. The dough is hand rolled and left unfilled.

I roll on my Formica countertop because I can use less additional flour, and less flour means a lighter end product.

These impostors masquerading as pierogi have their own merit. They can be eaten as a side dish or as a meatless main course. Try them with sour cream and bacon bits, or pan fried until golden, or added to the drippings of roasted meat like pork or beef. If you can't find dry curd cheese, you might want to make your own farmers cheese from scratch.
