Vareniki - Russian stuffed dumplings

Vareniki are stuffed dumplings made from wheat dough boiled in water. Unlike pelmeni, they have a wider range of fillings, often sweet.

Popular fillings include potatoes, cottage cheese, cherries, blueberries, cabbage, or mushrooms. Sweet versions are served with sour cream and sugar, savoury ones with butter and onion. Making them is a shared family activity.
