You can also drizzle the pierogi with melted butter, dust them with powdered sugar, or top them with extra fresh blueberries. No matter which topping you choose, these homemade blueberry pierogi are always best served warm.

Troubleshooting
The pierogi opened while cooking. This usually happens when they are overfilled or the edges were not sealed tightly. Keep the edges clean, use about 1 teaspoon of filling, and press the edges together twice before boiling.

The filling is too runny. Fresh blueberries should always be dried well before mixing with the flour and sugar. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first. The flour helps thicken the juices while the pierogi cook.Blueberries

The dough is too sticky. Sprinkle in a little more flour while kneading, but only a small amount at a time. The dough should feel soft and smooth, not dry.

The dough is too dry. Add a teaspoon of warm water at a time until the dough becomes soft and easy to knead.

The pierogi stick together. Place the cooked pierogi in a single layer and lightly brush them with melted butter. This helps keep them from sticking while you finish cooking the remaining batches.
