Flour the wooden baking surface and transfer the dough, knead for a few minutes and roll out to 1/8 inch thin. Cut out 3 inch circles.

In a center of each dough circle place 1 tablespoon of filling. Coat the edges with water, fold the dough and seal the edges using fork. Boil the water in a large pot, add a pinch of salt. Add in perogies and cook for about 4 - 5 minutes. Remove them as they float to the top. Arrange them on a serving plate.

Melt the butter on a medium high heat. Add in and toast breadcrumbs for a 1 - 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Top the pierogies with toasted breadcrumbs. Serve warm with cool dip.
