So, long story short, my unlucky streak with pierożki continues (I tried making some in a previous Vegan MoFo; they were kind of a mess). Long story long, I tried a new recipe, but the dough was so incredibly wet and sticky that I almost bailed on it entirely. I started tidying things up but then considered taking another run at it, so I added more flour and kneaded until I was finally able to roll it out and make eight pierożki. After they finished baking, I sat down for dinner, but I was only able to eat two bites; the pierożki just did not taste good to me. There was still plenty of filling left, though, so I enjoyed most of that as a back-up dinner. I’m not going to blame the recipe (especially since the filling turned out so well); this was my first time using buckwheat flour (as previously noted, I added extra), and I’d also substituted soy milk for the canned coconut milk.

Today, I used the last of the leftover filling to make pierożki rolls (with crescent roll dough). I added some Krakow Nights seasoning on top, and these were so, so good! Maybe sometime in the future, I’ll try veganizing one of the pierożki recipes from my copy of Polish Cookery, but for now, making them this way works for me!
P.S. So, I watched the series finale of Elementary; there were multiple times during the episode that I got worried about where the writers were going with it, but yeah, it was a good ending, pretty much perfect, honestly. I’m super sad that Elementary is over, but it was such an incredible show; I’m so grateful for it having existed, and for the ability to rewatch old episodes on DVD to my heart’s content!
Cringer and Daisy were on a stakeout of their own today, keeping an eye on the birdies…
Peace. :)
