They are half-circular dumplings usually made from noodle flour dough, and sometimes from pastry dough. Pierogi (the word ‘pierogi’ is plural in Polish, the singular is one ‘pieróg’ – pronounced pye-ROOG) are the most recognizable Polish food abroad. Place into the oven and bake until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Place the chebureki on the sheet pan, making sure they do not overlap with each other. Take a sheet pan and place about 2 tbsp of olive oil or butter on it. Vareniki and pierogi are popular in the states of Central and Eastern Europe and Russia, and are, rather confusingly, actually the same thing! How do you cook Chebureki in the oven? Pelmeni, Vereniki, and Pierogi are all types of dumplings that are found in either Russia (pelmeni and vareniki), or Central and Eastern Europe (pierogi).
If oil isn’t hot enough, it will absorb into the cheburek and tasty oily. Fry the chebureki in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes, carefully turning over each side. Heat about ½” oil into a frying pan until hot.
