Soft, pillowy, and bursting with juicy cherries—these traditional Ukrainian steamed dumplings (Varenyky) are the ultimate comfort food! In this video, I’ll show you how to make authentic Poltava-style dumplings using a kefir-based dough that turns out as soft as clouds. You’ll learn all the secrets to perfect dough that stays fluffy, how to fold them easily, and exactly how long to steam them so they never deflate. 📌 Ingredients For the dough: All-purpose flour — 350–400 g (approx. 2.5–3 cups) Kefir or Buttermilk (warm) — 250 ml (approx. 1 cup) Salt — 1/2 tsp Sugar — 1 tbsp (optional) Baking soda — 1 tsp (level) For the filling: Pitted cherries (fresh or frozen) — 350–400 g (approx. 12–14 oz) Sugar — 1/2 cup (to add individually to each dumpling) To serve: Butter (melted, to coat the finished dumplings) 💡 Pro Tips for Success: ✔ Cherry choice — both fresh and frozen cherries work perfectly. ✔ Timing is everything — steam the dumplings for exactly 5–6 minutes. Do not overcook them, or they will lose their fluffiness!
