My grandmother was Russian. She was smuggled out in a suitcase when she was three years old, strapped to the bottom of a boxcar along with the rest of her family escaping from the Bolshevik revolution.
She used to make varenaki or what we now call perogies. The russian perogie is a sweet bun made with yeast. I had forgotten what she called them until I saw it in a recipe today.
I've decided to make some homemade perogies, but with a twist. Going to put sweet potatoes with bacon and onion inside, instead of regular potatoes.
I'll let you know how they turn out.
