	Varenniki 05

		Varenikis 2 cups all-purpose flour; sifted 1 tsp salt 3 egg yolks 1/2 cup water (approx.) 1 egg white 3 cups tart cherries 1/8 tsp ginger 1/8 tsp honey 1/8 tsp cinnamon 1/8 tsp nutmeg 1/3 cup bread crumbs butter Sift flour and salt together. Mix with egg yolks and enough water to make a stiff paste. Knead well on lightly floured board and set aside for 1 hour. Roll out as thin as possible on lightly floured board. Cut either rounds or squares of pastry 3 or 3-1/2" across. Put 1 heaping teaspoon of filling on each piece of pastry. Moisten edges of pastry with slightly beaten egg white; fold over to form crescents, or triangles if pastry is cut into squares. Pinch edges together. If possible, chill overnight in refrigerator. Drop no more than 6 vareniki at a time into a kettle of boiling water. Cook at a rolling boil for 15 minutes; they will float to top when done. Remove with slotted spoon and drain. Serve hot with a bowl of sugar, dish of fruit juice, and some sweet cream or with sour cream.
