  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning (add more or less to your liking)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (or sour cream(but we prefer cream cheese)

  • 1 cup crab claw meat

Directions

  1. 1
    In a food processor pulse flour and salt.
  2. 2
    Add eggs and cream cheese process for about 15-20 seconds.
  3. 3
    Slowly add water until dough forms a ball. Add more flour if dough is too sticky
  4. 4
    Let dough rest 20-25 minutes
  5. 5
    (Start boiling large pot of water with salt and a little bit of olive oil).
  6. 6
    Roll out half the dough (roll VERY thin).
  7. 7
    Use a large rimmed glass (like a martini glass) or round cookie cuter to cut out 4-5 inch circles.
  8. 8
    Fill each circle with 1 to 2 Tablespoons of filling
  9. 9
    Fold over ensuring that there is no air inside and edges are sealed. (I pinch edges together and then use a fork to seal each pierogie).
  10. 10
    Cook about 8-10 at a time in the boiling water. Once they rise to the top of the water (approx 3-5 mins) remove with slotted spoon and top with butter/sauteed onions.
  11. 11
    I like to sautee onions and then carefully toss the boiled pierogies into the pan to get them crispy. MMmm! Enjoy!
