Cherry Vareniki

A Russian snack built around all-purpose flour and eggs — on the table in 60 minutes. Each serving lands at 575 calories with 12g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Naturally vegetarian, it scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 Eggs
• 3/4 cup Water
• 1 lb Cherries
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1/2 cup Sour cream

Steps

1. Knead a soft dough and rest 30 minutes; tender dough means tender vareniki.
2. Pit the cherries and toss with sugar; let them macerate 15 minutes into a ruby syrup.
3. Roll the dough thin, cut rounds, and place 3 cherries on each; seal firmly, pressing out air.
4. Boil in batches until they float plus 2 minutes; the skins turn jewel-like and translucent.
5. Toss gently with melted butter so they do not stick.
6. Serve warm with sour cream and a spoonful of the cherry syrup.
