Wild strawberry vareniki

Wild strawberry vareniki

Today we are making wild strawberry vareniki. It's simply impossible to resist the taste and aroma of the forest berry. So, if you are lucky enough to gather or purchase these berries, we highly recommend making dumplings with wild strawberries. The dough is made with boiling water, it's soft, but at the same time it retains all the juices inside. Thanks to the starch in the filling, the fragrant juice does not spill out when bitten, because during cooking it turns into a not very thick jelly. Such dumplings can be frozen for later use, they keep very well.
