Everyone knows that the French eat snails, the Russians drink vodka. However, do you know what the Polish eat? During the meeting of PoGN team, we went to visit a few households in a picturesque Krzyzowa to find out the truth

The bell is ringing. We are waiting in front of a small house`s gate, nobody answers. After some minutes an old woman comes with a shy smile on her face. And a funny story starts. We are asking her something about Polish cousine. She does not speak English so the dialogue becomes movable, interesting. We are using our whole body  to agree upon until the result is achieved. A recipe of a Polish traditional food is in our hands so the mission is completely done. So now, it is up to you if you make it yourself.

Pierożki ze śliwkami 

(polish traditional recipe)

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups of flour
• little salt 
• about 3/4 cup of water

Stuffing and topping:

1/2 kg of plums, fresh sweet basil, 1/2 cup of cream, 4 spoons of sugar powder

 

Directions:

Sift the flour, put a bit of salt and make a hole there. There gradually add the water, mix together until the dough is soft and pliant (about 10 minutes). Cover with a towel.

Pit the plums and divide each to 4 pieces. Roll the dough and cut it to squares (5x5cm). Put the quarter of plum to the middle of each square and join corners to make a pyramid.

Boil in the water (without salt), about 10 minutes (depends on how thick the dough is) till they are floppy. Sprinkle  with chopped basil. Serve hot with sour cream mixed with powder sugar.
