Cherry dumplings
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Cherry vareniki are a dish that practically everyone loves :) But not everyone knows how to eat them properly. Like dumplings or manty, you should never pierce a varenik with a fork or cut it with a knife, otherwise you'll lose the delicious juice. You should hold it with both hands, carefully take a bite, and sip the juice. That's why you need to cook vareniki carefully so they don't break, otherwise consider the dish a personal failure :) Knead the dough by eye, gradually adding flour. It should be more tender than dumpling dough and come away easily from your hands. I almost never remove the pits from cherries or sour cherries, but if you're serving children or guests, this step is essential. Well, enough introduction—everything else is in the cherry vareniki recipe :) Good luck, and serve hot.
