Sernik Polish Cheesecake 1 hr to make,  serves 20 A Polish cheesecake that I grew up on using modern technology, mixer and food processor. Farmers cheese is the choice of cheese but Ricotta is just as good. This is rich using eggs, cream and cheese. I flavored with Liqueurs using any lemon or Orange flavored ones you enjoy. Ingredients Vegetarian Produce 1 1/2 cups Mashed potatoes 1 Zest or 1 lemon, orange zest Refrigerated 7 Egg Baking & spices 3 tsp Baking powder 1 1/2 cups Flour 1/2 tsp Nutmeg, fresh grated 3/4 tsp Salt 2 1/3 cup Sugar 1 tsp Vanilla extract Dairy 5/8 cup Butter, unsalted 1 lb Farmers cheese 1/4 cup Sour cream Beer, wine & spirits 1/4 cup

Pierogi Pierogi are a dish of Polish origin, consisting of boiled dumplings of unleavened dough stuffed with varying ingredients. They are usually semicircular, but are square in some cuisines. Restaurants that serve traditional Polish food will always have pierogi on their menus. Ingredients 2 ½ cup flour ½ teaspoon salt 1 small egg 2 tablespoons salad oil (optional) pierogi filling of choice Directions Set a large pot of lightly salted water on high flame. Sift 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 c flour onto board. Sprinkle with 1/2 t salt. Deposit 1 small egg at center and use knife to mix outlying flour into egg. Gradually add about 1/2 c fairly hot water in a thin stream and work mixture by hand into a dough. Adding 1 - 2 T salad oil (optional) will produce more elastic dough. Knead well until dough is smooth and elastic and no longer sticks to hand. On lightly floured board, roll out thin 1/3 of the dough, leaving the remainder under a warm inverted bowl so it doesn't dry out
